Bitcoin Activity Indicators Point to a Continued Market Cycle AI Synopsis PANews reports that analyst @TXMCtrades provided insights on the X platform, which indicated that Bitcoin's activity indicators are rising, indicating that the current market cycle might not be over. The sum of all lifecycle spending and holding activities on the blockchain is an activity. Activity increases when tokens are actively traded, while activity decreases when tokens are held, depending on the token issuance time. Activity typically rises in a bull market when supply changes hands at higher prices, indicating a new inflow of capital. The indicator decreases as momentum slows and demand decreases. Similar to a long-term moving average of on-chain activity, it provides a simplified measurement. This cycle's activity continues to rise despite falling prices, indicating a fundamental demand for spot Bitcoin that goes unnoticed by price fluctuations. From this point of view, even though activity generally lags behind price trends and is not a direct market signal, its momentum remains positive. Although their identities are unknown, significant organizations are operating in the market.
Significant liquidations on major exchanges may be triggered by fluctuations in bitcoin prices. ChainCatcher cites data from Coinglass as evidence that the cumulative liquidation intensity of short positions on major centralized exchanges will reach $1.898 billion in the event that Bitcoin surpasses $94,065. Conversely, the cumulative liquidation intensity of long positions on these exchanges will amount to $1.027 billion if Bitcoin falls below $85,136. #BTC
The Bank of Japan could increase interest rates to their highest level since 1995. Odaily claims that the Bank of Japan will consider raising interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent on December 19, making it the highest rate since 1995. The Japanese yen increased from approximately 155 to approximately 154.56 in response to this news. A stronger yen frequently causes macroeconomic deleveraging, which could lead to the cancellation of carry trades that were financed in yen. This could make the liquidity that has helped Bitcoin recover from its lows in November tighter. Leveraged funds may reduce exposure to high-volatility assets like Bitcoin in the event that financing costs continue to rise. $BTC
