Sharpe Ratio Signals Imminent Bitcoin Rally

Sharpe Ratio Signals Imminent Bitcoin Rally

The risk-reward ratio of digital gold has become the most attractive since mid-2023, according to CryptoQuant data.

The Sharpe Ratio has dipped into negative territory for the first time since June last year. Analyst MorenoDV noted that a similar market structure was observed in 2019, 2020, and 2022. During those periods, the indicator remained low before forming multi-month upward trends.

The expert emphasized that current values do not guarantee a bottom but indicate a high potential for future profits. For a trend reversal confirmation, the metric must turn upward.

Asset Undervaluation

Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, also pointed to the asset’s oversold condition. The Bitcoin Heater indicator, which assesses the “overheating” of the futures and options market, fell to 0.09, the lowest level since November 2022.

According to Edwards, despite seller pressure, fundamental indicators remain strong. The NVT metric (market value to transaction volume ratio) also signals the first cryptocurrency’s undervaluation.

Historical Anomalies

Over the past seven days, more than 8% of the total market supply of coins has moved on the Bitcoin network. Joe Burnett, Director of Strategy at Semler Scientific, highlighted this.

The expert noted that such activity was recorded only twice before. Both instances coincided with local price lows:

Burnett described the current drawdown as one of the most significant events in the history of the first cryptocurrency’s blockchain.

Actions of Major Players

Amid the price decline, major players are increasing their positions. According to Santiment, since November 11, the number of wallets with a balance of at least 100 BTC has increased by 91 addresses.

Meanwhile, the number of small holders (less than 0.1 BTC) is decreasing, which is historically considered a positive signal for long-term growth.

Conflicting Forecasts

However, not all market participants are optimistic. Trader Peter Brandt described the current price recovery as a “dead cat bounce” within a broader downtrend.

Conversely, analysts at Swissblock stated that the fundamental indicators of the first cryptocurrency are in an upward trend, despite tough macroeconomic conditions.

Experts noted that the market is facing a liquidity shortage. This restrains the price but does not negate the positive forecast. Swissblock believes that once capital inflows resume, Bitcoin prices will rise.

In November, Anthony Pompliano, founder of Pomp Investments, explained that the pressure on the first cryptocurrency’s price is linked to institutional reactions, as newcomers from Wall Street were unprepared for sharp price fluctuations.
