Bitcoin Analysis: Pi Cycle Bottom Signals Bottom Formation

 


The Pi Cycle Bottom indicator provided a buy signal. The still quite new indicator should be suitable for determining the next macro bottom of the BTC price. Are we nearing the end of the Bitcoin bear market ?


At the end of June, in one of our bitcoin analysis, we wrote that the next buy signal of the Pi Cycle Bottom Indicator is likely to appear on July 9, 2022. On July 13, 2022, when the Bitcoin price fell to $18,900, the time had come.


On June 18, 2022, the Bitcoin price reached its last low for the year at USD 17,622 (blue circle). After that, the BTC price fell to the next, higher low at USD 18,600 (dark blue circle) on June 30, 2022. So, the indicator's buy signal appeared at the moment when the BTC price formed the third higher low.

The Pi Cycle Bottom Indicator is a simple indicator based on two long-term moving averages: the 471-day SMA and the 150-day EMA. When the 150-day EMA breaks below the 471-day SMA, the indicator gives the buy-signal.


In the past, the indicator has provided three signals (the blue lines). On January 16, 2022, this was the case for the first time. Two days earlier, bitcoin price hit the macro bottom of that cycle at $152.


On December 16, 2022, just one day after BTC price fell to the bottom of the previous bear market ($3,122), the indicator issued the second buy signal.

If the Bitcoin price should really have reached the last bottom on June 18, 2022, then the time interval between the buy signal and the bottom will be significantly longer at 25 days this time.


However, it could also be that in the next 2 or 3 days we will see another strong move down or one last capitulation dump before the BTC price hits the bottom. In this case, the indicator would have “predicted” the bottom almost as accurately as in previous cycles.


Bullish Bitcoin Interpretations

Despite the possible inaccuracies and only two data points of the Pi Cycle Bottom indicator, many analysts presented bullish interpretations for the buy signal. For example, trader @rovercrc compared three bitcoin charts showing the signal and concluded that the bitcoin price is bottoming out.

Analyst @el_crypto_prof published a Bitcoin monthly chart on which he plotted three support lines. In his opinion, the BTC price has already completed an ABC corrective structure and has already bottomed.

According to his forecast, we will see a consolidation phase in the coming months, which will then be followed by another bull market.


Trader @Kwontik  combined two versions of the indicator namely Pi Cycle Bottom and Pi Cycle Top indicator. The latter can be used to determine macro tops. In addition, he used a logarithmic chart and plotted a support line. In his opinion, this support line will not be broken.


However, this support line does not intersect with the points provided by the Pi Cycle Bottom indicator. He plotted these on the lows that followed the all-time lows of the previous bear markets.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
