Bitcoin On-Chain Health Remains ‘Net Positive’: ARK Invest Report

Source Newsbtc

Although Bitcoin (BTC) on-chain health remains net positive, from a price perspective two crucial support levels must be maintained for a continued bullish uptrend, notes ARK Invest in its latest monthly report.

Bitcoin’s Healthy On-Chain Metrics, What Does It Mean?

In its report, ARK Invest posits that Bitcoin requires some upside if its market structure is to be maintained. The report notes that in August 2024, BTC’s price slid by 8.7% to $58,972. The leading digital asset was also unable to overcome its 200-day moving average, making two key support areas at $52,000 and $46,000 critical for its bullish momentum.

The report states that despite the temporary headwinds faced by Bitcoin, its on-chain health remains ‘net positive.’ Essentially, the Bitcoin network is net bullish across different on-chain metrics such as network security, network usage, and holder behavior.

Bitcoin’s long-term holder supply, or BTC held for more than 155 days by holders, is up 3.3% month-over-month (MoM) and down a marginal 0.23% year-over-year (YoY). In addition, Bitcoin’s locked supply has increased in both MoM and YoY terms by 0.58% and 1.82%, respectively.

Bitcoin’s transaction volume has tumbled by 24.5% MoM and 2.3% YoY, a bearish on-chain indicator. However, Bitcoin’s bullish on-chain metrics overshadow the one bearish indicator, allowing its on-chain health to remain net positive.

Another key performance indicator strengthening ARK Invest’s bullish stance on Bitcoin is its short-to-long liquidation dominance. Essentially, this metric measures short-term liquidations relative to long-term liquidations over the last 90 days, and found that it’s at its lowest since Q2 2023.

Bitcoin ETF Investors Underwater At Large

The report highlights that at the end of August 2024, the estimated cost basis of US spot exchange-traded-fund (ETF) participants was higher than BTC’s price, hinting that the average ETF investor may be at a loss. The higher estimated cost basis of US spot ETF participants compared to its price can be confirmed from the chart below.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot Bitcoin ETF earlier this year, which made it easier for institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to the world’s largest cryptocurrency through a compliant investment product.

Bitcoin ETFs are witnessing unprecedented interest from institutional investors. Specifically, Wall Street titans such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have poured millions of dollars into Bitcoin ETFs. Conversely, Ethereum ETFs haven’t yet piqued institutional interest at comparable levels.

At press time, Bitcoin trades at $57,836, up a minimal 0.2% in the past 24 hours. BTC’s total market cap stands at $1.14 trillion.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you think Spot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same week Brent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million. This piece separates the geopolitical premium from the physical balance and lays out where each side of the trade is anchored.
