Bitcoin’s price is gaining momentum, fueled by the recent “Golden Cross” pattern that suggests bullish conditions. Rising retail demand and steady institutional inflows are propelling BTC toward potential all-time highs, despite lingering global economic pressures.
Golden Cross Signals Potential Shift in Bitcoin Price Momentum
The 30DMA has surpassed the 365DMA, creating a "golden cross"—a formation traditionally linked with increasing price momentum—according to the most recent data from CryptoQuant (via Coingape), which indicates a significant change in momentum for Bitcoin's active addresses.
A "death cross" pattern developed after Bitcoin's most recent all-time high in March, sending the cryptocurrency's price down into bearish territory. Bitcoin has been unable to reclaim the March levels ever since. But now that bulls have taken over and the "Golden Cross" pattern has formed, the tide appears to be turning.
Further evidence of increased market activity is the fact that the number of transactions is roughly double what it was in the 2021 cycle.
Cautionary Signals Amid Optimism
Nevertheless, experts at CryptoQuant warn that the present trend in BTC might be reminiscent of the consolidation phase in mid-2021 if the 30DMA doesn't surpass the 365DMA more strongly. Investors evaluating momentum for the long run should keep a careful eye on this crucial period.
Both individual and institutional investors were heavily involved during the last two Bitcoin price surges to record highs. The majority of the price activity in the past few weeks has been driven by institutional players and whales, while retail involvement has remained subdued.
Rising Retail Demand Fuels Market Excitement
The most recent news, however, implies that retail involvement is resuming its previous level of market activity. Retail demand for Bitcoin has recently climbed to seven-month highs, according to on-chain data.
In certain regions, like Canada and Europe, the price of Bitcoin keeps hitting new records. The demand from institutions, however, has not changed.
