Bitcoin’s Market Signal Ignites Exciting Bullish Opportunities

Bitcoin flashes a buy signal not seen in years—and the market's starting to listen.

The Setup

Forget the noise. A key technical indicator just flipped green, suggesting the long consolidation phase might be over. It's the kind of move that gets institutional desks buzzing and has retail traders scrambling to reposition.

Why This Time Is Different

Market structure is shifting. We're seeing sustained accumulation on dips instead of panic selling—a classic sign of stronger hands entering. Liquidity is pooling at higher levels, and the path of least resistance is pointing up. It's a textbook breakout-in-the-making, the sort that fund managers love to cite in quarterly letters (usually after the fact).

The Opportunity Ahead

This isn't about hoping for a repeat of past cycles. It's about recognizing a confluence of factors: regulatory clarity in major markets, traditional finance plumbing finally integrating crypto rails, and a macroeconomic backdrop that's increasingly friendly to hard assets. The signal is a trigger, not the story.

The Bottom Line

Markets run on narratives, and a confirmed bullish signal writes its own. It draws capital, breaks resistance, and creates momentum that can feed on itself. Sure, the old-guard bankers will call it speculative—right before their wealth management divisions quietly launch a new digital asset fund. The signal is clear. The question is who's positioned to act.

On Sunday, Bitcoin$90,357.50‘s price dropped below 88,000 dollars as it neared the daily close, signaling a tough phase for investors. The monotonous market conditions continue to exert strain on altcoins. However, Darkfost suggests an opportunity may be on the horizon.

Potential Signals in the Cryptocurrency Market

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost recently highlighted the significance of NVT data. By using the Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio, the analyst assesses Bitcoin’s value based on its on-chain activity, comparing the market value to network transaction volumes. Darkfost endeavors to identify the true standard deviation using the Z-score of monthly and 90-day moving averages and has noticed something intriguing.

The 30-day moving average NVT Z-score currently stands at −0.87, a level last seen in May 2022. Bitcoin has seen such deterioration that it has returned to conditions similar to 2022, with the illusion of a higher price near 90,000 dollars due to the last cyclical peak. Investors are unaware of how substantial the losses have been.

Today’s conditions mirror the previous cycle when BTC fell below 40,000 dollars. Two factors contribute to the NVT decline: a decreasing market value and increasing transaction volumes. When combined with other bottom indicators, this could be perceived as a “buying opportunity.” The analyst elaborates on these insights.

“Today’s known facts are that Bitcoin’s market value dropped significantly in recent months, whereas its on-chain and spot volumes remained relatively stable, except for a November spike at Coinbase. Such value loss is historically intriguing and may present strong opportunities in the medium term. However, caution is imperative; if a genuine bear market ensues, many signals from metrics will likely become invalid.”

Altcoin Trends and Observations

Analyst Poppe examined the TOTALCAP chart and noted similarities with conditions post-COVID-19 crash after a similar correction to February 2025. Prices stagnated with unclear trends before gradually rallying again. Current resistance and support are marked at 3.2 trillion dollars and 2.85 trillion dollars, respectively; breaking through one will indicate direction.

The movement ofabove the 20-day moving average is another noteworthy development for altcoins. Although an early signal, Ethereum$3,093.86‘s relative strength suggests hope for altcoins.
