Bitcoin’s Wild Ride to $150K: Will It Crash or Dance to All-Time Highs? 🚀💸

by

Key points:

  • Bitcoin pulls off yet another golden cross-this time from the mysterious NVT indicator that sounds like something from a sci-fi movie.

  • Previous golden crosses have been the financial equivalent of that one friend who always picks the winning horse at the races (just less sweaty).

  • Price targets suggest Bitcoin might soon party at all-time highs-like, within weeks. So, hold your hats and wallets.

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to pretend it’s a responsible adult by sticking to a “healthy uptrend,” with all-time highs apparently lurking just around the corner. The latest wisdom from those onchain analytics wizards at CryptoQuant says BTC has room to breathe (and grow) up to around $117,000 before it starts to get a little too cozy.

Bitcoin and Its New NVT Golden Cross: Not Just a Fancy Buzzword

Despite what your uncle screaming about apocalypse at Thanksgiving might say, Bitcoin is not yet on the brink of blowing up. According to the venerable Network Value to Transactions golden cross-or NVT-GC, which sounds like a robot from a bad 80s movie-it’s sitting in “neutral,” a state of emotional maturity we wish we all had.

Here’s the gist: Negative NVT-GC numbers below -1.6 historically mean Bitcoin’s gearing up for takeoff. When it crosses above 2.2, it’s more likely to have a hissy fit and drop. Back in July, it hit -2.8, then bounced to 0.3-imagine a temper tantrum followed by a polite apology.

CryptoQuant contributor Pelin Ay nicely summed it up in a blog post this week, assuring us that Bitcoin is neither wildly overvalued nor rock-bottom cheap, but just cruising healthily upward like a fit middle-aged jogger.

“Short Term: With the metric not elevated, Bitcoin is not yet in bubble territory. There is still room for price expansion.”

Turns out, the NVT-GC has a pretty stellar track record. The last four times it dipped into the “long” zone, Bitcoin decided to reward all its faithful hodlers by climbing in price. Yup, even in August 2024, it did the financial equivalent of showing up on time.

BTC Price Poised for a “Potential Push” – No, It’s Not Just Hype

This little metric joins a chorus of indicators singing the tune that the Bitcoin bull market hasn’t thrown in the towel yet.

According to CryptoMoon (no, not a new NASA project), July also flipped a “buy” signal on something called the moving average convergence/divergence, or MACD-because who doesn’t love a mouthful of acronyms to spice things up? Despite this, they say it’s not yet time for a wild price party-no fireworks or Lambo purchases just yet.

On the Twitter-front, CryptoQuant’s Axel Adler Jr. chimed in with more sober predictions: BTC is chilling just above what sounds like a fancy college exam score-the “STH Realized Price”-and after a week or two of consolidation (Bitcoin’s way of playing it cool), a push to all-time highs might be imminent.

STH MVRV Z-Scores (155D & 365D) are hovering near zero – the market is neither overheated nor oversold, essentially balanced.

BTC price sits just above STH Realized Price, setting the stage for 1-2 weeks of consolidation with a potential push to ATH.

Uptober incoming 🌊

Meanwhile, Pelin Ay advises a bit more caution (because someone has to). She’s eyeing a $150,000 target as Q4 rolls in, but reassures us Bitcoin is not currently playing with fire.

“Historical patterns suggest the price could climb toward the $120,000-$150,000 range in the coming months.”

So yes, dear reader, Bitcoin might just blow past your wildest dreams or crash harder than that soufflé you once tried to bake. Either way, buckle up and enjoy the show. 🍿
