Historically accurate metric indicating Bitcoin likely still early in its bull market cycle...

(Edited)

Bitcoin still has a ways to go before eventually topping out during this cycle according to one metric

Some have been comparing the recent price action to what happened back in June of 2019, IE when bitcoin ran up to $14k and then over the following months dumped to new lows as the bull market fell part.

Don't.

What we have now is night and day compared with what happened back then.

First, that run up started premature based on past cycles and it was mainly driven by extremely oversold conditions, IE short covering, as well as a news event.

The news event was the highly anticipated Bakkt launching, which was supposed to open bitcoin and crypto up to the institutional world.

Bakkt launched with a whimper and then we had the president, treasury secretary, and a couple other powerful people taking shots at bitcoin around that time.

That was enough to send bitcoin back to the lows and crush the green shoots of a bull market.

This time is different...

While I am not going into all the details as to why exactly this time is different, but instead I will just mention the most important one...

We are now several months removed from our latest block reward halving.

A time-frame that has historically seen a massive bull market every single time it has happened.

Getting past the history lesson aspect of this, we are now close to $40k and near the all time highs but there is one metric indicating there is likely more to come:

The thermocap multiple isn't anywhere near levels where we have seen it get to when tops have historically occurred.

If you look at the above chart you can see that the multiple has gotten at least to 40 every single time a major top has been put in.

Currently we are around 20.

For more info on what the thermocap multiple is and why it tends to predict tops, check this out:

Basically, all you really need to know is that until it gets at least up to 40, the bull is likely to continue and the play is to hodl!

Stay informed my friends.

Past trends point to the top happening in the second half of this year. A lot of models point to August, but I wouldn't be surprised if it took a bit longer and topped out in December.

I'll go with that! lol
My plan is to buy and hold anyway... or more specifically: to keep converting alts into BTC as they pop (pop, pop... popcorn). I appreciate the good news though, JC. Keep it coming. :)
