To delve deeper into Bitcoin analysis, you must understand that the indicators are divided into three "layers" of information. Here I explain how to use them to identify potential floors and ceilings:

1. Sentiment Indicators (Psychology)

They measure the predominant emotion. The crypto market is highly emotional, which creates opportunities at extremes.

  • Fear and Greed Index: It moves on a scale from 0 to 100.

    • 0-24 (Extreme Fear): Historically, it has been an excellent buying zone because the price is depressed by panic.

    • 75-100 (Extreme Greed): Indicates that the market is "overheated" and an imminent correction is likely.

2. Technical Indicators (The Moment)

These are used directly on the price chart to see the strength of the trend.

  • RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures if an asset is "expensive" or "cheap" in the short term.

    • Oversold (below 30): Suggests that the drop has been excessive and could bounce back soon.

    • Overbought (above 70): Alerts that the price has risen too quickly and could drop.

  • Bollinger Bands: Measure volatility. When the price touches the lower band and the RSI is in oversold territory, the chances of a bullish bounce are very high.

  • MACD: Helps detect trend changes. A "bullish crossover" (when the blue line crosses up through the orange) is a classic signal that momentum is shifting in favor of buyers.

3. On-Chain Indicators (The Health of the Network)

These are exclusive to cryptocurrencies and analyze what actual investors are doing within the blockchain.

  • MVRV Z-Score: Compares the market value to the actual value at which bitcoins were purchased. If it enters the green zone, Bitcoin is extremely cheap compared to its historical value.

  • Reserves on Exchanges: If the amount of Bitcoin on platforms like Binance or Coinbase decreases, it means that investors are moving their coins to cold wallets to hold, which reduces selling pressure and favors a price rise.

Practical Summary: To know when it will rise, look for a confluence: Extreme Fear in sentiment, an RSI below 30 on the technicals, and an MVRV in the green zone on-chain.
