The Crypto Market Is Quietly Preparing for Its Next Rally, Expert

A recent CryptoQuant analysis concluded that the cryptocurrency market has entered a bullish cycle but remains in an early phase because a long-term holder signal tied to Bitcoin held for more than 18 months has not yet appeared. The reported pattern occurs when the share of Bitcoin held over 18 months rises and then starts to fall, which the analysis associates with long-term holders moving coins near the start of sustained gains. CoinMarketCap data put total crypto market capitalization at $2.71 trillion, up 0.89% over 24 hours, with Bitcoin at $77,506 and Ethereum at $2,335. The Fear & Greed Index was neutral at 46, and 24-hour liquidations totaled $171.6 million.
