Advertisement Bitcoin bottoming signal emerges The data further shows that the increase in the ratio of Bitcoin supply in loss is bringing the asset closer to historic levels where the market has often bottomed out. The analyst revealed that previous Bitcoin bottoms have formed when the supply in loss hits about 60% as seen in past market cycles. As such, the current metric appears to be mimicking the same pattern and there are expectations that the market could bottom at this level as those extremes seen in the past cycles have gradually become less intense. Nonetheless, the metric pointing at a possible market bottom soon has sent a bit of relief to investors despite the increasing loss percentage as historical data suggests this stage is expected to show up when the market is closer to exhaustion and sellers are wearing off. #Bitcoin #Bitcoin Price Prediction
