Market overview

BTC experienced a 16.6% decline due to the effects of the ongoing war, resulting in the currency plunging to a low of $60,660. It has since bounced back to over $65,000. Market volatility resulted in approximately 290,000 people encountering liquidation. Prior suggestions indicated that if BTC fell below the pivot of $67,000, it would likely decrease to $62,000. The market has returned to rationality following the clearance of the leverage. Key points and opportunities for investment include:

(1) Observing whether the Iran-Israel conflict will escalate causing a global fall in assets. Such a situation directly impacts BTC's short-term direction;

(2) Assuming a reduction in external influences, BTC often goes through a 1-2 month correction phase post-halving, following which, a larger surge occurs six months later. Currently, BTC continues to fluctuate within the broader range of $62,000 - $71,800. It's essential to closely monitor this range to discern any effective breakthrough of the upper boundary and the support strength at the lower boundary;

(3) In the short term, the $66,000 - $67,000 range continues to form the market divide for BTC. The trading psychology suggests that breaching the $66,000 mark would be a signal to follow the uptrend, maintain a narrow stop loss, and strive for a favorable profit-loss ratio.

BTC Spot ETF

As of April 12th, updated data show that the total net inflow of BTC spot ETF is $12.53 billion, with a single-day net outflow of $55.07 million, and a single-day trading volume of $4.71 billion. The net assets of the ETF account for 4.26% of the BTC market value, with the main observations:

GBTC: The daily net outflow was $166 million, and the cumulative net outflow amounted to $16.27 billion. The daily turnover reached $1.19 billion, and the net asset value stood at $20.84 billion.

IBIT: The daily net inflow totaled $111 million. The cumulative net inflow reached $15.26 billion. The daily turnover reached $2.21 billion, and the net asset value stood at $18.11 billion.

FBTC: No data yet.

BTC Core Index Data

Ahr999 Index: The current Ahr999 Index stands at 1.3. Traditionally, a value below 0.45 indicates a favorable buying period for BTC; a value between 0.45 and 1.2 suggests a good time for regular BTC investments. For reference, the Ahr999 index for BTC's two peak periods in 2021 and 2022 was at 9.25 and 3.6 respectively.

PI Cycle Top: The 111DMA is valued at $54,603 and the 350DMAx2 stands at $76,575, based on data from April 13, 2024. Traditional markers suggest that when the BTC 111-day average price surpasses twice the 350-day average price, the market may be experiencing a short-term bubble. The current distance between these two figures is relatively wide.

BTC Rainbow Chart: This is a long-term Bitcoin valuation tool that predicts potential future pricing through the use of a logarithmic growth curve. Currently, the BTC price puts us in a regardful stage for regular investments. In reference to the BTC peaks during 2017, 2021, and 2022, these were situated within the maximum bubble range, FOMO intensification, and Is this a bubble? zones of the rainbow chart respectively. According to present conditions, BTC would need to reach $204,000 to fall into the 'Is this a bubble?' range.

Top Cap Model: Also referred to as the two-year MA multiplier. This model utilizes the 2-year moving average (equivalent to a 730-day line) and five times the value of this moving average. Conventionally, when the price falls below the green line ('buy' line), it's an opportune time for purchasing; when the price rises above the red line ('sell' line), it's a time for selling. The current green line stands at $30,497, the red line at $152,487, and the BTC price sits in between.

In summation, each of these indicators suggest a relatively healthy state for the current BTC market. Although its volatility has had some significant upward movement, it still hasn't reached historical peak levels. The projected BTC peak falls between $120,000 and $140,000.
