On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Puell Multiple is about to undergo a crossover that has historically been very bullish for BTC’s price. Bitcoin Puell Multiple Could Cross Its 365-Day MA In Near Future As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, the Bitcoin Puell Multiple has been approaching its 365-day moving average (MA) recently. The “Puell Multiple” here refers to a popular on-chain indicator that tells us about how the revenue of the Bitcoin miners compares against its yearly average. BTC miners earn their income through two sources, the transaction fees and the block subsidy, but in the context of the Puell Multiple, only the latter is relevant. Block subsidy is the reward miners receive as compensation for adding blocks to the network. Related Reading: Bitcoin Hashrate Falls Off, Miners Expecting Pause In Bull Run? When the indicator’s value is greater than 1, it means the miners are currently making a higher revenue than the average for the past year. On the other hand, it being under the threshold suggests the miners are earning less than usual. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Puell Multiple, as well as its 365-day MA, over the last few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Puell Multiple had plunged under the 1 mark earlier in the year, but recently, its value has seen a sharp rise back towards the mark. The reason behind the earlier plummet was the occurrence of the fourth BTC Halving. “Halvings” are events coded into the blockchain that automatically shave off the asset’s block subsidy in half every four years. As the Puell Multiple keeps track of the block subsidy, it naturally makes sense that the Halving would drastically affect the ratio’s value. Outside of the Halvings, the block subsidy remains constant in BTC value and is more or less given out at a constant rate. However, the ratio’s value can still change at times other than Halvings because it measures the USD value of the miner revenue. The rewards that miners get are in BTC and so, their value is also tied to the USD rate of the asset. With the cryptocurrency observing a sharp rally recently, the miner revenue seems to be back to the same as the 365-day MA. The 1 mark isn’t the only important level the Puell Multiple has risen to; it is now near its 365-day MA. In the chart, the quant highlighted what happened the last three times the metric broke above this line. It would appear that the asset went on to rally at least 76% each time.

This Model Says So It remains to be seen whether the Puell Multiple could break above this line, potentially giving a bullish signal for Bitcoin, or if the retest would fail. BTC Price Bitcoin has recently witnessed a cooldown in bullish momentum as its price has fallen to a sideways movement. At present, BTC is trading at around $91,900.

Ethereum has experienced a noticeable surge in its price recently, trading above the psychological $3,000 price mark, which has reignited interest in the crypto market. According to on-chain analysis, retail investors appear to be adopting a “hold” strategy, resisting the urge to sell despite the increase in ETH’s value. Market analysts view This holding behavior as significant, especially considering the broader market sentiment influenced by the so-called “Trump Trade,” which has contributed to easing risks and enhancing market conditions. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Readies for a Fresh Climb: Will Momentum Build? Limited Ethereum Deposits To Exchanges According to the onatt, the CryptoQuant analyst behind the analysis, this trend of holding ETH without significant profit-taking suggests that many investors still perceive the cryptocurrency as “undervalued,” even at its elevated levels. Another factor onatt mentioned supporting this observation is the limited inflow of ETH to major exchange deposit addresses such as Binance and OKX, indicating that traders are not moving their assets to sell. Generally, large volumes of ETH flow into exchanges typically signal impending selling pressure. However, this has not been the case, reflecting a cautious but optimistic outlook among retail market participants. Key Metric Highlighting Investor Sentiment Another major metric the CryptoQuant analyst highlighted reinforcing this “hold” sentiment is the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), which tracks the profitability of spent coins. onatt reveals that this metric remains close to 1, indicating that most Ethereum transactions are happening near breakeven levels. This data indicates a lack of significant profit realization among ETH holders, highlighting a strong “buy and hold” sentiment. According to the analyst, when paired with low exchange inflows, this metric also suggests that investors are maintaining confidence in Ethereum’s long-term growth potential. Furthermore, onatt’s analysis suggests that as long as ETH maintains levels above $2,800, it could pave the way for a swift move toward the $4,000 range. So far, Ethereum is currently still trading above just above $3,000. While the asset’s price increase is nowhere near that of BTC, it has managed to maintain stability above the crucial psychological price level.

At the time of writing, ETH has surged by 0.2% in the past day with a current trading price of $3,100—a price mark that brings Ethereum a 36.4% decrease away from its all-time high (ATH) of $4,878 registered in 2021. Analysts have suggested that the current market price of ETH is a notable buying opportunity for the asset.
