Express News | Renowned Trader: Historical Bitcoin Bottom Signal Reappears; Months of Consolidation May Still Be Needed to Complete the Bottom Formation
On August 12, renowned trader Doctor Profit posted that a historical Bitcoin indicator is signaling that 'the bottom has already formed or is very close.' In 2015, 2019, and 2022, bear market bottoms all began when the realized price of coins held for 3 to 6 months crossed below the realized price of coins held for 1 to 2 years. He believes this indicates that newer buyers are capitulating at a loss and selling, gradually transferring Bitcoin into the hands of longer-term holders. This crossover is now occurring for the fourth time, with BTC’s current price below the average cost basis of both holder groups. However, historically, this signal does not immediately lead to a reversal; Bitcoin typically undergoes several months of sideways consolidation to complete the bottoming process, making this phase a potential long-term accumulation window. Doctor Profit stated he believes the market is currently in the stage of bear market bottom formation and long-term accumulation. He added that over the past few weeks, he has been accumulating BTC in tranches within the $54,000–$64,000 range and continues to build his position incrementally in 5% allocations per trade.
