These Bitcoin Indicators Could Be To Follow For Bear Market Signals

In a new post on X, on-chain analyst Checkmate replied to a user asking about an on-chain metric indicating when it's time to turn bearish on cryptocurrency.

An on-chain analyst has shared two signals in key metrics that could be used to gauge whether Bitcoin is due for a bearish phase.

Bitcoin has observed a choppy price movement over the past few weeks. After rallying to highs of $62,000 earlier this week, the coin slipped to lows of $57,800 at press time. Now, an on-chain analyst has shared two signals in key metrics that could be used to gauge whether the coin is due for a bearish phase.

In a new post on X, the analyst, known as Checkmate, replied to a user asking about an on-chain metric indicating when it’s time to turn bearish on the cryptocurrency.

Checkmate has shared two indicators: the Short-Term Holder Realized Profit/Loss Momentum and the Short-Term Holder MVRV Ratio Momentum. “Short-Term Holders” (STHs) here refer to the Bitcoin investors who bought their coins within the past 155 days, meaning that both of these metrics are only for the recent buyers in the market.

Short-Term Holder Realized Profit/Loss Momentum

First, the “Realized Profit/Loss Momentum” measures, as its name suggests, the momentum in the ratio of the profit and loss that the STHs are realizing through their selling.

Below is the chart for the indicator posted by the analyst.

According to the analyst, it is time to be bearish when the oscillator on the bottom of this chart turns red (corresponding to negative momentum in the STH Realized Profit/Loss).

The graph shows that this oscillator assumed negative values soon after the price set its new all-time high (ATH) and has since remained in the region. And indeed, while the indicator has seen these values, Bitcoin has been going through a rough phase.

Short-Term Holder MVRV Ratio Momentum

The second indicator works similarly and keeps track of the distance between the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio for this cohort and its 155-day moving average (MA).

The MVRV Ratio is a popular indicator that tells us how the value held by the investors (the market cap) compares against what they used to purchase their coins (the Realized Cap). In other words, the metric provides information about the unrealized profit/loss of the holders.

Thus, whereas the Realized Profit/Loss keeps track of the net profit/loss the investors are harvesting through their selling, this metric tells us about the profit/loss they have yet to take.

Here is the data for the momentum indicator for the MVRV Ratio specifically for the STHs:

According to the analyst, just like with the first indicator, this one also gives a bearish signal when the momentum turns red. As the chart shows, the STH MVRV Ratio has been under its 155-day MA for the same period as the bearish momentum in the Realized Profit/Loss, thus providing confluence to the signal.
