Bitcoin‘s price “choppiness” has reached high levels, suggesting a repetition in August 2023.
On February 17, on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant released a new study that concluded that BTC/USD is “ready” for volatility.
Bitcoin receives critical 2023 comparison pricing action has rarely been so rangebound, and while volumes are down, market players are ready for a shakeup.
Percival, a CryptoQuant contributor, describes the mood as indicative of August 2023.
Highlighting data from Bitcoin’s Choppiness Index, he stated that the reintroduction of volatility resulted in a sharp decrease before BTC/USD began a multimonth rally.
“Our Choppiness Index on both the daily and weekly charts is highly unstable (62 and 72, respectively), indicating that it urgently needs to begin a trend, implying a more aggressive movement to either side of the box,” he said with a visual.
“Evidence of this pressure is the 90-day range that Bitcoin has discovered, with volatility lasting roughly 16% between the high and minimum of the lateral range.”
Percival went on to say that in 2023, before the rally, “price cleansed all traders of ‘boring’ positions in the other direction because to low volatility,” which strengthens the argument for a large liquidity grab to come.
Over the last six months, the Choppiness Index has witnessed several local peaks as Bitcoin alternates between quick rises and grinding consolidations.
In December, Percival utilized its observations to properly foresee a cooling spell for BTC/USD once it reached approximately $110,000.
Bitcoin Price Estimates Include a $85,000
When considering potential price floors if the 2023 scenario occurs, Percival identified the short-term holder (STH) cost base at $92,000 as a level of interest.
If this fails, the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), which is now at $85,000 according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView, appears promising.
“The potential of false movements before the bull run is high, many breakout traders are positioned in these zones, and the sovereign market has a tendency to blow up these positions and revert to the predicted path!” he concluded.
Since August 2023, the STH Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) indicator has been slightly negative. SOPR measures the share of unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) of STH entity transactions that are profitable or loss-making.
