Bitcoin onchain liveliness metric has recently reached notable peaks, signaling persistent investor demand despite price corrections. Analysts believe the ongoing bull cycle is not over yet, as market activity remains robust.
Liveliness measures long-term onchain activity, similar to a moving average for coin movement. Technical analyst “TXMC” stated on Sunday, “Liveliness continues to rise this cycle even with lower prices, reflecting a strong demand floor for spot Bitcoin that isn’t yet visible in price action.”
What Liveliness Represents
According to TXMC, the metric works elegantly:
-
Liveliness increases when coins are transacted and decreases when they are held.
-
The metric scales according to coin age, making older coins’ movement more impactful.
-
Historically, it rises during bull runs as capital flows into the market.
Analyst James Check noted that liveliness remained range-bound since the 2017 peak, but current cycles are breaking new highs. The reactivation of dormant coins shows an unprecedented rotation of capital this cycle. Check emphasized, “Unlike 2017, when transactions were hundreds or thousands of dollars, this cycle sees billions moving onchain.”
Bitcoin Price Trends and Consolidation
Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has seen limited movement. Prices briefly dipped below $89,000 on Sunday morning but recovered to around $89,500 at the time of writing. MN Fund founder Michaël van de Poppe commented, “Anything between $86,000 and $92,000 is largely noise. Significant moves will happen outside this range.”
He added, “If $92,000 is tested, we may break it, otherwise expect a test near the low $80,000s for a potential double-bottom pattern.” Analysts suggest the end of the year and early 2025 could see a strong rally.
