What Else Is Different in Bitcoin’s Price Action?
As CryptoPotato reported earlier, there are quite a few things that are different when comparing Bitcoin’s price action now and during April’s peak.
Right off the bat, there are no serious signs of retail investors flocking to the market. This means that there’s no FOMO yet – something that usually happens when the cycle is closer to its top. The market is also not so overleveraged as it was back then.
In April, long-term holders were taking profits at an average of an 8X leverage, and now they’re doing so at an average of 3X leverage – a meaningful decline.
On the other hand, though, the crypto fear and greed index shows that we’re currently in a state of extreme fear, and the indicator appears to be higher than what it was in April.
In any case, it’s advisable to remain cautious, especially in the near term, as the days around forming a new all-time high are usually riddled with volatility.
