Analysts indicate that a technical indicator known as liveliness is increasing, historically reflecting bull run activity and suggesting that this market cycle may not yet be finished.
“Despite lower prices, liveliness continues to rise this cycle, pointing to a demand floor for spot Bitcoin that isn’t mirrored in the current price movement,” noted technical analyst “TXMC” on Sunday.
The analyst described the “elegant metric,” akin to a long-term moving average for onchain activity, as a cumulative total of all lifetime spending compared to holding activity on-chain.
“It increases when coins are actively transacting and decreases when they are held, with adjustments based on the age of those coins,” they added.
“Typically, liveliness rises during bull runs as supply transitions at elevated prices, suggesting an influx of freshly invested capital.”
Analyst James Check noted that liveliness has remained within a range since the 2017 peak, continuing to the present.
Liveliness magnitude considerably larger this cycle
Check compared the present liveliness to that of the 2017 cycle, which was characterized as the first “epic parabola with widespread participation.”
He remarked that the new peaks in liveliness illustrate the significant return of previously dormant coins this cycle, noting that the value magnitude is now considerably higher.
What’s particularly interesting is that, unlike in 2017, the current transactions involve sums ranging from several to tens of billions of dollars, according to Check.

“We have witnessed an unprecedented volume of coin days destroyed, and I believe we have just witnessed one of the most remarkable capital rotations and leadership changes in Bitcoin history.”
Bitcoin price begins to consolidate
Bitcoin has remained relatively stable over the last 24 hours, briefly dropping below $89,000 in early Sunday trading but recovering to approximately $89,500 at the time of writing, where it stood a day prior.
“Any movement between $86,000 and $92,000 is merely noise. Not much action is anticipated for BTC,” commented analyst and MN Fund founder Michaël van de Poppe on Saturday.
Should $92,000 be tested, “I believe we’ll surpass it, but failing that, prepare for a test in the low $80,000 range to establish some form of double-bottom pattern,” he added.
“I don’t think we are far from a bottom for Bitcoin, which should lead to a robust rally by year-end moving into Q1.”
