Bitcoin (BTC) spending an “unprecedented” interval beneath a key shifting common is a poor information to the 2022 bear market.
That was the opinion of analyst Superswell, who this week championed on-chain metrics as a approach of understanding present BTC worth motion.
“Enterprise as typical to this point” for Bitcoin bear market
In a collection of tweets on Dec. 5, Superswell challenged these involved concerning the 200-week easy shifting common (SMA) disappearing as assist on BTC/USD.
“Over the previous few months, I’ve seen fairly a couple of folks level out that BTC failing to seek out assist on the 200wkSMA is unprecedented and subsequently we’re in uncharted territory – particularly contemplating how a lot time now we have spent beneath,” half the thread learn.
“That is the place I personally really feel that onchain information offers higher info as to the place we’re in relation to historic capitulations than TA (ie: 200wkSMA).”
BTC/USD fell beneath the 200 SMA in mid-August, taking its stint with the development line as resistance to just about 4 months — a document, as confirmed by Cointelegraph Markets Professional and TradingView.
As Cointelegraph continues to report, nonetheless, on-chain information tells a distinct story, and has been compiling bear market backside alerts for weeks or longer.
Superswell highlighted 4 specifically from on-chain analytics agency, Glassnode: % provide in revenue, % quantity in revenue, adjusted spent output revenue ratio (aSOPR) and market worth versus realized worth (MVRV).
Whereas these have to this point not overwhelmed (or in some circumstances, even matched) earlier bear markets, that is no cause to concern the worst, Superswell continued.
“From an on-chain perspective, that is enterprise as typical *to this point* for a macro backside and bear market,” he wrote.
“This isn’t to say that *as a result of* these ranges have been hit, now we have subsequently bottomed.”
An instance got here within the type of % quantity in revenue — a chart exhibiting what portion of transaction quantity concerned cash shifting at a better worth than they did final time.
Presently trending down, the metric wants to start an uptrend — a collection of upper swing lows and swing larger highs, which Superswell says would “verify a macro reversal.”
“That is simply an instance of *one* reversal sample. There are lots of to search for,” he famous.

An accompanying chart confirmed the ratio of on-chain realized losses versus realized features — in different phrases, the ratio of loss-making on-chain transactions to these carried out in revenue.
