Bitcoin Signals Imminent Bull Run as Large $BTC Holders Begin Closing Leveraged Longs
As the on-chain data puts it, the large holders of Bitcoin ($BTC) are taking a radical step of closing long leveraged positions. The respective development is significant in line with its timing. Specifically, such a move often occurs before a huge bull rally. Additionally, Bitcoin’s ($BTC) trajectory during the past 2 cycles presents a similar scenario. 1st of these instances took place between October and November in 2024. At that time, $BTC/USD jumped by 57.35% over forty-three days, raising almost $38,771 Bitcoin’s value.
Following that, the second instance took place between April and May last year. Hence, the price rallied by 46.69% over forty-four days, resulting in gains of over $35,649. This reaffirms the pattern of notable price hikes following the closure of big leveraged $BTC long positions.
Price Consolidation Below $91K Threshold Further Fuels Bull Rally Speculation
At the moment, Bitcoin ($BTC) is changing hands at $90,673, below the $90K threshold, as witnessed in the previous price rallies. Keeping this in view, there is a high chance for the flagship crypto asset to enter a bull market in the near term. Nevertheless, whether the current closure of leveraged longs leads to a bullish trajectory or not remains to be seen, as uncertainty remains.
