A subministración de Stablecoin achégase á cruz da morte, malas novas para Bitcoin?
On-chain data shows the stablecoin supply long-term and short-term moving averages are close to a death cross. Here’s what it means for Bitcoin.
Stablecoin Circulating Supply Moving Averages Close In On Death Cross
Como sinala un analista nun CryptoQuant enviar, if the stablecoin supply doesn’t increase, a bear market could return for Bitcoin. O "oferta circulante de stablecoin” is an indicator that measures the total amount of stablecoin tokens that are currently in circulation.
Generally, the main reason why investors use stables is for escaping the volatility associated with most of the assets in the cryptocurrency market. Such holders may keep their stablecoins ready with them to convert into volatile coins whenever they feel that prices are right to jump back in.
When these investors do swap their stables back for coins like Bitcoin, they provide buying pressure to them and hence give a bullish boost to their prices. Because of this reason, the stablecoin circulating supply may be looked at as a store of buying pressure that can be deployed into any of the assets in the market at any point.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the stablecoin circulating supply 21-day and 100-day moving averages (MAs), as well as in the Bitcoin price, over the past year:
The year 2020 saw some sharp growth in the stablecoin circulating supply, which, according to the quant, led to the Bitcoin carreira de touro observed in 2021. This trend makes sense as the stablecoin supply rising shows that more capital is entering the cryptocurrency market.
From the chart, it’s visible that this increase was taking place until the February of last year, following which the indicator reversed its direction and started decreasing instead.
This decline in the metric led to the 21-day MA crossing below the 100-day MA. Interestingly, this crossover seems to have coincided with the bear market kicking off for Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency sector, which means that this may have acted as a cruz da morte para o mercado.
The short-term MA stayed below the long-term one throughout the bear, but recently, just as the current rally kicked off, a reverse cross took place in which the 21-day finally rose above the 100-day.
This boost in the stablecoin circulating supply might have been what has provided the fuel for the latest move in the Bitcoin price. In the last few days, however, the indicator seems to have once again been dropping off, as can be seen in the graph.
The 21-day MA is now once again near the 100-day MA and is at risk of forming another death cross. “If the circulating supply of stablecoins does not increase further, I think the crypto market will enter a bear market again,” cautions the analyst.
