Bitcoin Market Depth Hits Rock Bottom—Is a Bull Run About to Explode?

Bitcoin’s market depth reached new lows this weekend, signaling a possible price bottom. Analysts are eyeing this as a signal that a strong bullish reversal may be on the horizon.

Bitcoin Hits Market Depth Lows

According to new research from Black Capital (via Coingape), market depth dropped significantly over the weekend, which affected buy and sell orders both short- and long-term.

This decrease in market depth, which is sometimes seen in market reversals, could indicate that the price slide of Bitcoin, which started in late August when it surpassed $65,000, is coming to a close.

Liquidity as a Key Market Indicator

The capacity of a market to absorb massive deals without impacting prices is indicated by its depth, which is a liquidity metric.

Time of day, market circumstances, and individual price points are a few of the variables that affect this statistic. Usually, when markets hit bottom, trading activity drops, which means fewer buy and sell orders and less liquidity.

Order Book Depth May Signal Bullish Shift

Low liquidity is typically associated with market bottoms, according to an analysis of the combined spot order books, especially at the 0%-1% and 1%-5% depth levels. When the order book depth drops, it can mean that Bitcoin prices are about to turn around, which usually happens before a bullish trend starts.

Traders can use these indications to foretell when the market will make big moves. When trying to predict when the Bitcoin market will shift, it might be very helpful to look for these imbalances.

Major Exchanges Track Bitcoin Market Depth

While a market depth of 5% indicates liquidity 5% away from the mid-price, a market depth of 1% captures the complete amount of buy and sell orders within 1% of the current mid-market price. Hyblock monitors the depth of the Bitcoin market on many exchanges, such as Coinbase and Binance.

With a 4.3% climb from Friday's low of $52,530, the price of Bitcoin was trading at $59,868 as of writing. According to Coinglass, negative financing rates in the Bitcoin perpetual futures market suggest a preference for bearish positions, or shorts, even when the market value has increased.
