Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC's "Mad Money" and a former hedge fund manager, is at it again, this time advising investors to "buy the crypto dip." https://preview.redd.it/lo9i5rzjm58e1.jpg?width=1132&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=064462c8226ba6b0db56d51a05d163e25d1093b9 But here's the thing with Cramer – his advice often leads to the opposite happening, a phenomenon hilariously dubbed the "Inverse Cramer Effect."

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has recently experienced a significant and sudden price correction, sparking debate among investors. Concerns have surfaced about whether this downturn signals the conclusion of the current bull cycle or merely represents a temporary setback. While short-term holders face losses, long-term metrics provide a broader perspective on Bitcoin’s trajectory, as analyzed by CryptoQuant’s Avocado Onchain in a recent report. Related Reading: As Bitcoin Reclaims $100,000, Warning Signs Emerge from Long-Term Investors Opportunity Or End of The Bull Cycle? According to Avocado Onchain, the realized price for investors who entered the market during Bitcoin’s recent peak at $98,000 places them in a loss-making position. However, for those who invested between one to three months ago, the realized price is significantly lower at $71,000, offering a cushion against the current correction. Avocado pointed out that historical patterns from Bitcoin’s 2021 bull cycle reveal similar alternations between record highs and sharp corrections, suggesting that these dips may not necessarily indicate the end of the cycle. Instead, they have historically been “opportunities” for market rebalancing and subsequent growth. A key indicator analyzed is the 30-day moving average of the short-term SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio). This metric tracks whether recent market participants are selling at a profit or a loss. The current SOPR data reveals that recent short-term inflows into Bitcoin have yet to result in substantial profit-taking. Unlike previous cycle peaks characterized by aggressive selling, the ongoing correction appears subdued, indicating that the market may still have room for upward movement. Bitcoin Short-Term Dips vs. Long-Term Trends Additionally, Avocado Onchain highlights the importance of distinguishing between short-term corrections and broader cycle trends. Bitcoin’s tendency to rebound after corrections in past bull cycles reinforces the notion that the current downturn might not mark the cycle’s end. These insights align with the behaviour of long-term holders, who often use corrections to consolidate their positions, strengthening market resilience.

On-Chain Signals You Need To Know Avocado concluded the analysis, noting: For investors who have yet to enter the market, this may be an excellent opportunity to buy Bitcoin at a discount. Instead of succumbing to panic selling during short-term downturns, adopting a long-term perspective and a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy could be a more effective approach. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is seeing a gradual rebound in its price surging by 1.3% in the past 1 hour. Regardless, the asset still appears to be overshadowed by the bears as BTC remains down by 3.5% in the past day and 10.5% from its peak of $108,135 recorded last week.

Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing its first seven-day decline in eight weeks, prompted by hawkish signals from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) that have led traders to sell off the asset, which has more than doubled in value this year. Bitcoin Rebounds To $97,500 After Historic ETF Outflow The market’s leading cryptocurrency saw a drop of as much as 5.3% to $92,149 on Friday, following a record high of just above $108,000 earlier in the week. Since then the Bitcoin price has recovered the $97,500 mark, down approximately 5% since Sunday. This downturn has also affected smaller cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin (DOGE), despite a generally positive performance in US equities. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally Loses Momentum: Could A Drop To $75,000 Signal The Final Correction? The shift in sentiment is further highlighted by a significant outflow from US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest directly in Bitcoin. On Thursday, these funds recorded a historic outflow of $680 million, ending a 15-day streak of inflows, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The heightened volatility in the crypto market follows a rally that began after Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election on November 5. Analysts from QCP Capital have noted that positioning in the market had become “overly bullish,” leaving digital assets susceptible to fluctuations in the Federal Reserve’s tone regarding inflation control. With the US Federal Reserve signaling a potential slowdown in its easing measures with its chair’s Powell announcement on Wednesday, the focus is shifting to the pace at which traditional financial institutions adopt cryptocurrency. Historical Patterns Suggest Potential Rebound For BTC’s Price Hani Abuagla, a senior market analyst at XTB, stated in a recent note that the interplay of monetary policy, institutional adoption, and political developments suggests that Bitcoin will remain sensitive to both macroeconomic and crypto-specific catalysts through 2025. This sentiment is echoed by Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone Group, who advised caution in the short term. Weston noted that while a collapse in price is not imminent, the momentum behind Bitcoin’s recent rally has diminished, indicating a shift in market control.

The expert referenced December 2020, when Bitcoin experienced a 12% drop following a 77% rally in the preceding months but then surged from $17,000 to $41,000—a 136% increase—in just 23 days. Davis posits that a similar scenario may be unfolding now, with Bitcoin facing a 13% dip after a robust fourth quarter. While he acknowledges the possibility of an additional 10-15% correction, he remains optimistic about the potential for further upward movement in the cryptocurrency market.

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital says that Ether could keep consolidating between the $3,000 and $4,000 range, though a pullback to the lower $3,000s remains a possibility following its 10% fall over the past seven days.

XRP has faced a sharp downturn over the past few days, shedding over 23% of its value since Tuesday. This steep correction has mirrored the broader market’s turbulence, intensifying negative sentiment around XRP. However, notable developments are emerging beneath the surface of this bearish price action. Related Reading: Bitcoin Data Reveals No Significant Panic Selling In The Market – Shakeout Or Trend Shift? Key on-chain data from Santiment reveals that whales are taking advantage of the dip. In the last 24 hours alone, these large holders have accumulated an additional 110 million XRP, demonstrating significant confidence in the asset’s long-term prospects. Historically, whale activity during negative sentiment often signals strategic positioning for future gains. This accumulation trend suggests that whales are undeterred by short-term price fluctuations, focusing instead on XRP’s potential in the coming months. As retail traders grow increasingly cautious amidst the recent drop, the actions of these large holders highlight a different perspective. While the immediate outlook for XRP remains uncertain, the notable whale activity is a bullish indicator for the long run. Whether this signals a bottom or simply positions XRP for a broader recovery remains to be seen, but it is clear that big players are looking beyond the current market turbulence. XRP Holding Key Levels XRP is currently trading 28% below its multi-year high of $2.90, but it has managed to stay above a critical support level at $1.90. This zone, regarded as the bulls’ last line of defense, has proven resilient amid recent market volatility. Holding above this level is essential to maintaining the bullish structure that has characterized XRP’s recent price action. Adding to the optimism, key metrics from Santiment, shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, reveal that XRP whales have accumulated actively during the pullback. Over the last 24 hours, these large holders have purchased an additional 110 million XRP, underscoring their confidence in the asset’s long-term potential. Historically, whale activity during price dips often signals preparation for a recovery. The next step for XRP to regain momentum is to push above critical supply levels that have previously stalled upward moves. A breakout above these zones could trigger a swift rally, bringing XRP closer to its multi-year high.

However, maintaining current levels and overcoming resistance will be crucial for XRP to capitalize on this potential and reignite its bullish trajectory. Technical Levels To Watch XRP is trading at $2.06, reflecting a loss of momentum after failing to reclaim the crucial $2.60 level. This inability to push higher has left the market uncertain, with XRP holding above the critical $1.90 low. For now, these levels suggest the asset could enter a prolonged period of range-bound trading, oscillating between $1.90 and $2.60 in the coming days. However, market sentiment remains fragile, and this indecision could tilt toward the bearish side if the overall mood doesn’t improve. With XRP trading just above the psychologically significant $2 mark, a continued lack of bullish momentum might lead to a significant selloff. If bears take control, the lack of strong support below $2 could pave the way for a deeper correction, eroding recent gains.

Until then, traders and investors are likely to exercise caution, closely monitoring price movements and sentiment shifts to gauge the next directional move. Without a decisive breakout, the price may face mounting pressure, risking a more pronounced downturn if support at $1.90 fails. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
