This Bitcoin On-chain Retest Can Change Market’s Course, Here’s How

2022-10-26 22:00

Bitcoin new address momentum is approaching a retest that could change the course of the crypto’s price, if history is anything to go by.

Monthly MA Of Bitcoin New Addresses Is Currently Retesting The Yearly MA

According to the latest weekly report from Glassnode, new address momentum is currently on the verge of a push higher.

The “new addresses” is an indicator that measures the total number of new addresses coming active on the Bitcoin blockchain.

To know whether the crypto is seeing a sufficient amount of push in new users coming to the network or not, the “new address momentum” metric is used.

This momentum indicator is based on the 30-day and 365-day moving averages of the new addresses. By comparing the trend of these MAs against each other, we can learn how the monthly average new users stack up against the mean for the year.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin new address momentum over the last few years:

As you can see in the above graph, the relevant points of trend for the Bitcoin new address momentum are highlighted.

It seems like whenever the 30-day MA has failed to cross above the 365-day MA, the price of the crypto has observed a bearish trend.

This happened back in November 2018, where when shortly after the crossover didn’t happen, the coin crashed from $6k to $3.2k November 2021 and May 2022 also saw a similar pattern.

On the other hand, during times when the monthly MA successfully passed above the yearly and sustained there, Bitcoin felt a constructive effect on its value.

In recent months, the 30-day MA has been below the 365-day as there hasn’t been much demand for BTC. Most recently, however, the metric has seen some upwards push, and is now approaching another retest of the yearly line.

Currently, it’s unclear how this crossover attempt will go, but the report notes that so far the market hasn’t shown the same convincing burst of strength as in 2019.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $19.2k, down 1% in the last week. Over the past month, the crypto has gained 2% in value.

Frogs, Fevers and Fees: Bitcoin’s New Governance Challenge

The creation of Bitcoin-based meme coins using the new BRC-20 standard has driven up Bitcoin fees as they use more data than a basic Bitcoin transaction. But while some developers in the Bitcoin community are proposing a filter to block Bitcoin NFT projects, such censorship could run counter to Bitcoin's open-source characteristics, CoinDesk's chief content officer Michael Casey argues.
