1/27 1st day of the month.. #Bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> market analysis time! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face">

This edition, I& #39;ll look at 3 questions:
- Why did we dip (again)?
- Is there still demand?
- Is there still room for growth?

A relatively long https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread"> this time, but I think you may just like it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤫" title="Schh!-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schh!-Gesicht">
3/27 Upon writing these monthly analyses, I& #39;m spotting a trend: I& #39;m writing about a dip each month https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">

If anyone has an explanation for why the #bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> price dips near the end of each month, I& #39;m all ears https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👂" title="Ohr" aria-label="Emoji: Ohr">

@WClementeIII also noticed this: https://twitter.com/WClementeIII/status/1385332498608046082">https://twitter.com/WClemente...
4/27 So why these dips? Multiple angles to take.

First: Price ramped up FAST this cycle in comparison to 2017

#Bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> Price Temperature (BPT) reached a https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌡️" title="Thermometer" aria-label="Emoji: Thermometer"> of 6 multiple times at an earlier post-halving date than the previous cycle

Some price exhaustion could be expected https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥵" title="Hot face" aria-label="Emoji: Hot face">
6/27 The amount of pain of those degenerate gamblers that aped long on leverage during this parabolic rise is visualized in this long liquidations chart

Lesson: when everyone & their mom is long, it pays to be short - especially if you& #39;re a https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐳" title="Wasserspeiender Wal" aria-label="Emoji: Wasserspeiender Wal"> that can help push the price down
7/27 ..which is exactly what happened https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="Achselzuckender Mann" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckender Mann">

I wrote a https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread"> about it using @whale_map data, to show that the dip started with a large, somewhat old (Aug & #39;20) whale taking profits, creating a cascading effect of profit taking towards younger whales that even capitulated at a loss
8/27 I concluded that thread with a chart of the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), that had just reset back to 1

This means that on average, the last sold coins were neither in profit nor at a loss - an indication that the & #39;profit taking potential& #39; turned neutral (which is good)
9/27 Around that same time, the #bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> price was touching @woonomic& #39;s NVT price model, which had worked as a support during the previous bull runs as well https://twitter.com/dilutionproof/status/1386272877255839744">https://twitter.com/dilutionp...
10/27 There was also a large drop in hash power on the network due to power problems in China, that caused the @woonomic& #39;s hash ribbons to compress, creating a miner capitulation signal on @caprioleio& #39;s indicator - which also is bullish https://twitter.com/dilutionproof/status/1386709488443576325">https://twitter.com/dilutionp...
12/27 Perhaps an even more comforting thought; this last price rise was not accompanied by a rise in funding rates, which is a sign that it was spot-markets driven

The apes that went long & got rekt are now either on the sidelines or learned their lesson and bought spot https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧠" title="Gehirn" aria-label="Emoji: Gehirn">
15/27 A similar pattern can be witnessed at the balances of Over The Counter (OTC) trading desks

The supply shortage is real; there is a decreasing amount of coins circulating on the market, which means that price must go up to entice HODL& #39;ers to sell

17/27 A similar pattern can be witnessed with miners, that were taking profits in January but have stopped doing so since late March - and have been accumulating ever since

If these guys aren& #39;t taking care of the supply shortage, who will? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

18/27 The answer is clear; if not for newly created #bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">, existing coins need to become available to the market to meet the new demand

The problem is with that is that HODL& #39;ers are not selling - they are buying https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😯" title="Schweigendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schweigendes Gesicht">

20/27 Right, but those addresses can all belong to a single https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐳" title="Wasserspeiender Wal" aria-label="Emoji: Wasserspeiender Wal">. Are there actually new entities coming to the network?

Yup - more than ever https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

21/27 Another encouraging signal that demand is lining up: the stablecoin reserves on spot exchanges are currently relatively high, which is potentially a signal that dry powder is ready to buy the next dip - or perhaps FOMO in if price runs away from them https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">
23/27 Similarly, the Puell Multiple - a metric that quantifies to what extent the daily coin issuance is increased in comparison to its 1-year moving average - was at relatively high levels, but recently dropped after the hash rate drop on the network
24/27 Less convincing is the status of @hansthered& #39;s Reserve Risk that quantifies to what extent long-term holders are selling

Some HODL& #39;ers were taking profits during this run but in comparison to previous cycles, HODL& #39;er conviction is still high (waiting for higher prices?)
25/27 @PositiveCrypto& #39;s Realized HODL Ratio uses a different approach to actually tackle that same angle - HODL& #39;er confidence

As expected, the RHODL Ratio paints a similar picture - still room for growth in comparison to previous cycles

26/27 To close off my monthly analysis thread, I like to use my #Bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> Halving Cycle Roadmap chart

As the #Bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> Price Temperature https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌡️" title="Thermometer" aria-label="Emoji: Thermometer"> cooled off towards green, it is now lagging behind most of the other price models that are visualized here

(When) will it catch up...? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

27/27 To conclude:
- Compared to 2017, the bull run was intense; some exhaustion was normal
- The market was (over)leveraged, but now less so
- The demand for #bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> appears strong as ever
- If this cycle is like the others there is room for growth on most market cycle metrics
