Bitcoin Crosses $93,000 – Is There More Room for Gains or Are We Nearing a Peak?
2024-11-14

Bitcoin has continued with its strong bullish momentum, trading at highs that have never before been seen. Today, the asset has achieved a new all-time high of roughly $93,477. This ATH was achieved not long ago following an earlier dip today to $85,000.
However, at the time of writing, BTC has seen a slight pullback, now down 0.5% from its peak to currently trade at $92,544, albeit still up 5.6% in the past day.
Bitcoin Finally At Its Peak?
Amid the price surge in BTC, market analysts have offered their perspectives on Bitcoin’s potential trajectory. Crazzyblockk, a CryptoQuant analyst, addressed questions regarding whether Bitcoin has reached its peak by evaluating market profitability indicators.
According to Crazzyblockk, two key metrics are essential for assessing Bitcoin’s profitability: the number of Bitcoin addresses currently in profit and the overall profitability rate for these addresses. The analyst observed that nearly all Bitcoin addresses are profitable, indicating heightened market risk.
However, he also noted that current profit margins across different holding periods remain below those observed during previous bull markets, such as the 2019-2020 and 2021 uptrends, where profit margins reached 800-900%.
Despite concerns about potential short-term price corrections due to elevated market risks, Crazzyblockk expressed confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term upward trajectory.
He emphasized that strategies such as Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) and maintaining a long-term investment approach could benefit capital growth in this environment.
More Room For Gains?
In a separate analysis, CryptoQuant analyst Avocado Onchain highlighted miner activity and its implications for Bitcoin’s price movement. Avocado noted that some Bitcoin miners have already begun taking profits, but this does not necessarily indicate a weakening of Bitcoin’s overall upward potential.
He pointed to the Miner Position Index (MPI), which tracks Bitcoin outflows from miners’ wallets relative to the annual average. A high MPI suggests increased miner selling activity, which can signal that Bitcoin’s price may be approaching a cycle peak.
So far, recent data showed a slight increase in MPI as Bitcoin reached new all-time highs. Avocado explained that this could represent early positioning for the next market cycle. By converting MPI to a 30-day moving average, clearer signals emerge regarding market cycles.
The analyst identified patterns of profit-taking by miners near cycle tops, often followed by subsequent price increases and, eventually, longer-term downtrends. Avocado Onchain also highlighted additional data supporting the potential for further Bitcoin price growth.
The hashrate and mining difficulty, key indicators of mining activity and network security, have reached new highs, reflecting strong miner participation and overall network health.
This data, combined with continued market interest and growing liquidity, suggests that Bitcoin’s price could experience further upside in this cycle, as suggested by Avocado’s analysis.
