IMPORTANT: The % of $BTC not being moved for over a year is increasing.
We are now ~6 months after a major turnaround like we only saw twice before. We saw it in 2018, ~6 months before the #bitcoin bottom and in 2014, ~9 months before the price bottom was in.
Now, what does this mean? Historically we see the $BTC price bottom 6-9 months after this turning point. People are not longer willing to sell (or even move) their bitcoin and are simply holding it. Mainly because they think price increases are coming or accumulation is here.
So, this indicator turns around during a period of bear market. After 6-9 months of this indicator going up, the #bitcoin price bottoms.
We are now 6 months after this turning point so we can say that the bottom should be in or close and that we're in an accumulation stage.
Personally I don't think this indicator has peaked yet. This means that the accumulation phase can still continue for some time. We're currently at 63% while historically the peak turning point to the downside is a bit higher.
Once it has reached its high, a bull market starts. At that point more people are willing to sell their #bitcoin into the strong price action again. For now, it means we're in accumulation, but this indicator tells us the bottom of this bear market/accumulation phase is in.

Here's why I think altcoins will outperform #bitcoin during Q2 and Q3 of this year.
Time for a thread 🧵
1) First of all, in recent weeks we had an accumulation of bad news and events. But during this time, it was very remarkable to see how altcoins kept up versus Bitcoin. Even during the heaviest of news and fear in the market, altcoins held up strong compared to Bitcoin.
2) The $BTC.D or bitcoin dominance only went up with 4%, from 39.4% to $43.4% right now.
That's not what you would expect during an uncertain period like the past few months where a war broke out, stock markets fell, inflation rose dramatically,...
Since the start of altseason, I made:
x7 on $DOT
x10 on $BNB
x12 on $MATIC
x15 on $ENJ
And so on...
-> But 2 of my altcoins are clearly lagging. I'm talking about $ETH and $LINK. A little thread on why I think this is happening to these 2 👇
1/7
In the same period as the ones mentioned above both $ETH and $LINK went up 'only' x2.5. This is remarkably less than other altcoins.
Why is that? I personally think the prices are suppressed of both cryptocurrencies.
2/7
I was listening to a podcast recently (can't remember which one) in which they talked about using market makers to suppress the price of $ETH in order to accumulate. I'm talking about big institutions or funds like Grayscale. They are using their services to keep prices low.
