Addresses cradling a larger share — above 10 BTC — have also breached heights not seen since September 2019, market data shows .  Also this week, bitcoin’s dormant supply hit a new all-time high of 15.2 million BTC, while exchange balances plunged to their lowest since January 2018, Glassnode data shows .

Six tried and tested on-chain metrics are repeating patterns last seen at the bottom of the past three bear markets.

However, on -chain data is still signaling it could be a “ generational buying opportunity ” according to analysts. On Jan. 24, researcher and technical analyst “Game of Trades” identified six on-chain metrics for his 71,000 Twitter followers.
