Bitcoin Near Bearish Bottom After Worst Quarter in Ten Years: Glassnode

On-chain analytics platform Glassnode suggested in a recent report that Bitcoin (BTC) has hit its lowest level in the ongoing bearish cycle as network activity plummets on a lack of new users.

Glassnode asserted that June was Bitcoin’s worst trying month in over ten years, adding that the benchmark cryptocurrency is near its bottom as “market tourists” have been squeezed out of the market. However, the on-chain statistics provider clarified that the bearish cycle could persist and exhibit different properties from older cycles due to external macroeconomic factors.

BTC just eased off its worst quarter since 2011, following its crash to the $17,580 low in mid-June. Despite a rebound from this low, the primary cryptocurrency still ended the month under the $20,000 mark. The Glassnode report detailed:

“Prices traded down -37.9% over the last 30-days, competing only with the 2011 bear market, for the crown of [the] worst month on record.”

The analytics company believes that market tourists—who typically show up in “time of plenty” and bolster network activity—have fled the scene. It explained:

“Almost the entire suite of on-chain activity metrics indicate that the number and activity of network users are approaching the deepest historical bear market territory. The Bitcoin network is approaching a state where almost all speculative entities and market tourists have been completely purged from the asset.”

Key Bitcoin Levels to Watch — July 5

As projected in my last analysis, Bitcoin attempted a push towards the $21,000 resistance but failed halfway, stumbling to the mid-$19,000 area. We could see the benchmark cryptocurrency return to the $19,000 round figure in the coming hours, where the next price direction should emerge.

Regardless, my previous analysis of BTC remaining under the $21,000 mark in the coming days remains. However, we should witness several bullish attempts in the coming days ahead of the US non-farm payrolls.

Meanwhile, my resistance levels are at $20,000, $21,000, and $22,000, and my key support levels are at $19,000, $18,000, and $17,000.
