According to Cointelegraph, a widely-used Bitcoin indicator that helps traders assess miner selling activity is nearing a level that could signal a promising buying opportunity for Bitcoin. CryptoQuant contributor Grizzly highlighted in an August 31 analyst note that the Puell Multiple index is fluctuating between two critical levels. Historical patterns suggest that if the index drops below 0.6, it could indicate a favorable buying opportunity for investors.
On April 20, around the time of the Bitcoin halving, the Puell Multiple Index score was 1.76, according to Bitbo. Grizzly explained that the range between 0.6 and 0.8 on the Puell Multiple Index is known as the “Decision Zone.” Historical data dating back to 2014 shows that when the index drops below the 0.6 threshold, it has often signaled an ideal opportunity for Bitcoin Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategies.
Traders typically use the Puell Multiple to estimate the health of miner revenues. A high Puell Multiple might suggest low sell pressure, whereas a low Puell Multiple may indicate high sell pressure. At the time of publication, the Puell Multiple is reading a score of 0.69, according to Bitbo data. For context, when Bitcoin hit its all-time high of $73,679 on March 13, the Puell Multiple was at 1.88. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $58,416, down 8.98% over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Pseudonymous crypto analyst Moustache told their 133,100 X followers that the Puell Multiple is signaling one of the best opportunities to buy in over two years. Moustache declared, “This is your second best chance after 2022 to re-accumulate before the next wave starts.” However, the duration of Bitcoin's stay in this uncertain range remains a topic of debate among traders. Pseudonymous crypto trader Rekt Capital believes there is a possibility that Bitcoin could “breakout” of its reaccumulation range as early as “late September.” However, Rekt also suggests it is more likely Bitcoin will “consolidate” through September before an “October breakout.”
