An analyst noted that the weekly Fisher Transform indicator, which highlights when prices have moved to an extreme to try and signal buying and selling opportunities, has recently printed a bullish crossover at the -2.5 level. They remarked that \u201cthis signal is rarely false,\u201d and thus strongly implies a resumption of Bitcoin price\u2019s uptrend in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>On a longer-term time frame too, the cryptocurrency market seems to be shaping up well for more expansion. Just look to the stock to flow ratio (SF ratio) popularized by PlanB, Saifedean Ammous, and others in the space that suggest that Bitcoin has room to run in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bayerische Landesbank&#8217;s senior analyst, Manuel Andersch, Bitcoin\u2019s price might be able to be fairly predicted by an SF ratio price model. Per the German bank&#8217;s logarithmic analysis of the correlation between the SF ratio of a commodity and its market capitalization, the next halving will give Bitcoin a fair valuation of $90,000 per coin.<\/p>\n<p>Per <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/ignore-bitcoin-price-drop-mcafee-one-million-btc\/\">previous reports from Ethereum World News<\/a>, John McAfee believes that Bitcoin&#8217;s scarcity, which is embodied by the SF ratio, will be the catalyst for the cryptocurrency&#8217;s growth in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>HODLers widely buy into this theory and are thus holding in preparation for the negative supply shock.<\/p>\n<pre>Featured Image from Unsplash.com<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After weeks of non-volatility, Bitcoin (BTC) finally saw some action over the past week.
