  • BTC witnessed a price correction causing its value to drop below $26,000.
  • Metrics revealed that investors accumulated more BTC during every price correction.

Bitcoin [BTC] has remained pretty dormant for quite a few weeks, and it failed to breach the $26,000 mark on multiple occasions. The sluggish movement affected the entire market as interest in crypto dropped. However, if metrics were to be considered, there is a possibility of a change in trend in the coming days.

This can make Bitcoin’s price volatile 

After reaching $27,000, the king of cryptos’ price witnessed another price correction, once again pushing it under $26,000. According to CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, BTC was trading at $25,685.36 with a market capitalization of more than $500 billion.

However, CryptoCon pointed out a metric that suggested the possibility of a change in BTC’s price trend. As per the tweet, Bitcoin typically enters a bull market as soon as the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) crosses the 50 mark. Historically, after a fake crossover, the weekly RSI, when it rebounds from two support levels, is followed by bull markets.

 

At press time, BTC’s weekly RSI had a value of about 43, which is near the first support level. Therefore, if it manages to make a rebound, the possibility of a price uptick is likely. BTC’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) registered a small hike, increasing the chances of a rebound.

However, its MACD remained bearish, which suggested that the RSI might get pushed towards the second support level.

Bitcoin’s accumulation phase is ending

While there were chances of BTC’s price turning volatile, other datasets revealed that the accumulation period is coming to an end soon. As per the 28 November cycle theory, Bitcoin’s accumulation phase is about to end in a few months.

This also corresponds with Bitcoin’s upcoming halving, which can act as a trigger for BTC to reach a new all-time high. Historically, BTC’s price has always reached new highs a few months after halving.

A look at Santiment’s chart revealed that investors took advantage of BTC’s slow-moving price as they stockpiled the asset during the accumulation phase. Whenever BTC’s price fell, its exchange outflow spiked, meaning investors bought the coin.

Additionally, whale transactions also increased during those incidents. This meant that the big players were also accumulating. Additionally, BTC’s supply on exchanges dropped while its supply outside of exchanges increased for the past several weeks, reflecting the stockpiling trend.

However, a change in that trend can be noted during the latest price correction on 1 September, in which it appeared that investors sold BTC.
