Analysts say Bitcoin’s prolonged downtrend reset its key price metrics, setting BTC up for a stellar Q4 performance.
Bitcoin (BTC) price is trading 7% below the local high of $66,508 reached on Sept. 27, but some analysts are optimistic that this correction could just be a reset of key metrics as BTC prepares for massive gains in the last quarter of 2024.
“Bitcoin is near all-time highs, yet the valuation metrics have all declined from extreme overbought in March to around 17-75% on a 4-year Z-score,” Jamie Coutts, chief crypto analyst at Real Vision, said in an Oct. 1 post on X.
Coutts was referring to an onchain metric called the market value realized value (MVRV) Z-score, which shows the market value’s relative position to realized value, which was -116% on the three-month timeframe, -94% over a two-year period and -107% on the four-year timeframe. This suggests that Bitcoin is extremely undervalued on multiple timeframes.
