All eight signal metrics presently exhibit a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, suggesting that the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization might be entering the initial stages of a bull market.

Negentropic, a pseudonymous crypto analyst and one of Glassnode’s co-founders, also highlights a momentum shift from meme coins to layer-2 protocols and artificial intelligence (AI) projects.

“This trend likely signifies smart investors capitalizing on profits and acquiring undervalued assets. It is a positive indication for Bitcoin and the overall crypto market. Shorts are going against the prevailing trend.”

The analyst also remarks that Bitcoin is presently displaying an upward trajectory but lacks significant momentum. They assert that increased demand is necessary for the leading cryptocurrency.
