Bitcoin News: Market Comeback Possible as Short-Term Sellers Retreat

Bitcoin's price remains below the $100,000 mark, but positive daily performance and key on-chain metrics hint at a potential market comeback.

Short-Term Bitcoin Sellers Retreat—Market Comeback Possible?

Bitcoin's price remains below $100,000, currently trading at $98,000. While its daily performance is positive, the overall market sentiment suggests continued bearish pressure. Over the past month, Bitcoin has declined by 6%, marking a 10% decrease from its all-time high of $109,000 recorded last month. Market participants are closely monitoring on-chain metrics for hints about future market movements. One key metric, the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH SOPR), has recently gained attention. This indicator measures whether short-term Bitcoin holders are selling at a profit or loss, providing insights into market sentiment and potential trends.

This trend is marked by a shift in trading volume, with altcoin volume being 2.7 times that of Bitcoin (BTC). The altseason is considered 'selective', highlighting the importance of individual research (DYOR).

CryptoQuant CEO Declares Altcoin Season, But With a Catch

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has declared the start of an altcoin season, citing a significant increase in altcoin trading volumes. However, he notes that this rally is unlike previous ones, as it's driven by stablecoin holders rather than a clear Bitcoin-to-altcoin capital rotation. Ju observes that only a few coins are seeing gains, making it a very selective alt season. With market liquidity remaining constrained, he compares the current situation to a "PvP fight over a fixed pie."
