LIVEMajor Bitcoin Buy Signal Flashes: Capriole's CEO Issues Alert!
Charles Edwards, CEO of Capriole, a Bitcoin and digital asset hedge fund, recently highlighted a significant market signal in the firm's latest newsletter. Edwards points to the activation of the "Hash Ribbons" buy signal, which historically indicates prime buying opportunities for $BTC .
The Hash Ribbons indicator, introduced in 2019, uses mining data to predict long-term buying opportunities by analyzing miners' economic pressures. This signal appears when the 30-day moving average of Bitcoin's hash rate falls below the 60-day moving average.
Edwards points out that the current Miner Capitulation began two weeks ago, coinciding with post-halving adjustments in the mining sector. This period often sees less efficient miners shutting down operations, leading to falling hash rates. Despite increased profitability from new applications like Ordinals and Runes, Edwards believes the current Miner Capitulation presents a buying opportunity.
The Hash Ribbons signal often sparks debate about its relevance. Edwards addressed these criticisms by referencing last year’s signal, which aligned with Bitcoin trading around $20,000, showcasing the indicator’s predictive strength. He recommends waiting for confirmation through renewed hash rate growth and a positive price trend for the safest investment approach.
Edwards also discusses the changing regulatory landscape, noting the SEC's approval of an Ethereum ETF and its classification of ETH as a commodity. This regulatory shift signifies growing institutional acceptance and could lead to increased stability in the crypto markets.
Additionally, Edwards highlights macroeconomic factors like the expansion of the M2 money supply and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies. These factors could enhance Bitcoin's appeal as a hedge against inflation and monetary devaluation, reinforcing the fundamental reasons for Bitcoin's existence and adoption.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $71,067.31.
