To investors,
Bitcoin is crashing to levels not seen since….a week ago. No, seriously. That is what has happened over the last 24 hours. Bitcoin has traded down under $92,000 and people are freaking out all over the internet. But bitcoin was hitting a new all-time high of $92,000 just a week ago.
It is always funny how bad our memories are.
First, we should remember that bitcoin had the highest weekly close in history on Sunday night.
So why is the price going down right now? Because there are more sellers than buyers. That sounds simplistic, but that is the truth. Checkmate, one of my favorite bitcoin on-chain analysts, points out “Long-Term Holders have distributed $60B worth of supply in the last 30-days. Out of all the LTH supply moved since the FTX bottom, 21% of it has happened in November. This is the heaviest profit taking we have seen so far this cycle.”
You would expect the price to fall further if long-term holders are selling this much, so why haven’t we seen a larger drawdown? The ETFs are buying up a ton of the supply at the same time. Kyle Doops explains “Long-term Bitcoin holders sold 128K BTC, but U.S. spot ETFs absorbed 90% of the selling pressure. Strong institutional demand is fueling BTC’s rally, bringing it closer to the $100K milestone.”
This doesn’t mean that we are in the clear though — Joe Consorti highlights a potential scenario worth watching: “Bitcoin has tracked global M2 with a ~70-day lag since September 2023. I don't want to alarm anyone, but if it continues, bitcoin could be in for a 20-25% correction. (Bitcoin in orange and money supply in white).”
I don’t think investors can time markets with a high-degree of accuracy, so I wouldn’t try to do it. Plus, if we use Thanksgiving 2020 as a guide, bitcoin has the potential to cool off for a week or two before ripping higher to all-time high records at an accelerated rate.
But maybe you don’t believe history rhymes. Ki Young Ju writes “even in a parabolic bull run, Bitcoin can see -30% pullbacks. Such corrections repeatedly occurred during the 2021 price discovery from $17K to $64K. This isn’t a call for a correction—just manage your risk and avoid panic selling at local bottoms. We’re in a bull market.”
Ki Young Ju explains the “bitcoin market seems too early to call a bubble. The market cap hasn’t increased significantly relative to cumulative on-chain capital inflows. Based on the current realized cap, it could rise to $141K. The realized cap has been steadily increasing every day.”
So what is the big takeaway from all this data? Take a deep breath — everything is going to be alright.
Bitcoin doesn’t go up in a straight line. Yes, the price of the asset is falling. It may fall further. But the long-term trend is still intact. I would not be surprised to see bitcoin hit a new all-time high before the end of the year.
It is a holiday week. Relax. Enjoy time with your family and friends. The world will keep spinning. Bitcoin will keep producing blocks of transactions. And the government will keep printing money. So bitcoin will go higher over time.
Hope you have a great day. I’ll talk to everyone tomorrow.
