The world’s most popular cryptocurrency has more than doubled in value over the past year, reaching an all-time high of $73,750 on March 12, 2024. And if a chorus of optimistic analysts and bullish market indicators are to be believed, Bitcoin’s meteoric rise may not over yet
On-Chain Oasis: Uncovering the Hidden Language of Bitcoin’s Blockchain
Unlike the traditional financial world that relies on central banks and economic indicators, the cryptocurrency world operates on a different set of statistics. Here, on-chain data, which tracks the movement of Bitcoin on its blockchain network, provides valuable insights into the health and trajectory of the digital asset.
Enter Axel, a respected on-chain analyst, who has identified a specific metric – the UTXO Win/Loss (W/E) Supply Ratio Momentum – that seems to be whispering sweet nothings in the ears of bulls. This complex metric essentially measures the profitability of short-term versus long-term Bitcoin holders by analyzing transaction data on the blockchain.

Interestingly, according to Axel, there have only been two other instances in Bitcoin’s history where this benchmark has risen significantly, and on both of those occasions, it was followed by large price rallies. Could a similar scenario be unfolding now? With the UTXO P/L bid ratio seemingly on the rise, analysts are cautiously optimistic that another price rise could be imminent.
Heavyweights Sound In: Seven-Figure Dreams and the Bitcoin Boom
Adding fuel to the fire are prominent figures in the crypto space who are throwing their considerable weight behind Bitcoin’s future. Samson Mow, the CEO of Bitcoin-focused tech firm JAN3, doesn’t mince words. In a recent podcast appearance, Mow made a bold prediction that sent shockwaves through the crypto community — Bitcoin could reach a staggering $1 million within the next year.
His bullish outlook stems from a confluence of factors, including the widening gap between rising demand and the limited supply of Bitcoin. With only 21 million Bitcoins ever to be created, Mow argues that this fundamental imbalance creates a scenario ripe for a price boom.
To add another layer to this bullish narrative, Mow highlights an upcoming halving event, which is scheduled to occur sometime in 2024. In simple terms, a halving event cuts the reward for mining Bitcoin in half. This essentially squeezes the supply of new Bitcoins entering the market, potentially pushing the price even higher due to increased scarcity.

Investor frenzy: Trading volumes, market capitalization signal growing interest
Shifting our focus from predictions to the trading floor, we see signs of a growing frenzy surrounding Bitcoin. The trading volume increased by more than 10% in the last 24 hours, reaching a whopping $64 billion. This significant increase in trading activity indicates increased investor interest in Bitcoin, suggesting that more and more people are jumping on the cryptocurrency bandwagon.
This trend is further confirmed by the ever-increasing market cap of Bitcoin, which now sits comfortably above $1.44 trillion. Market cap is essentially the total value of all Bitcoins in circulation.
The fact that this number has grown so significantly not only reflects investor confidence in Bitcoin’s future, but also highlights the growing influence of Bitcoin within the broader financial landscape.
Even traditional institutions are taking notice, with the rise of Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) attracting significant investment. These ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements without directly buying and holding the cryptocurrency itself. The inflow of capital from ETFs has the potential to push prices even higher in the coming months.
