Bears are back. After a multi-month long consolidation period, Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> finally broke down earlier this week, quickly losing all semblance of a bull trend in a spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n For those who missed the memo, within a few hours’ time, the leading cryptocurrency had fallen from five digits \u2014 $10,000 \u2014 to $8,000, losing the support of a descending triangle pattern. This move marked the most serious bout of volatility BTC had seen in months.<\/p>\n As traders were taken aback with this move \u2014 shocked by the severity and speed of this flash crash \u2014 negative sentiment reigned supreme on cryptocurrency forums. Within hours after the move, analysts were calling for $4,000 \u2014 a price point which would put Bitcoin decidedly back into a bear market if it was reached.<\/p>\n However, data shows that these harrowing fears of a redux of the now-infamous Crypto Winter of 2018<\/a> might be shortsighted.<\/p>\n Hans Hauge, a senior quantitative researcher at crypto fund Ikigai Asset Management, recently laid out the bull thesis for Bitcoin<\/a>, showing an array of charts and trends as a way to show BTC’s persistent underlying strength.<\/p>\n Firstly, the 365-daily moving average of Bitcoin transactions is currently at an all-time high, showing that in the long run, there is only a growing level of demand to use BTC.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/hansthered\/status\/24290048?s=19<\/p>\n Secondly, Bitcoin’s hash rate<\/a> has continued to chug higher, recently hitting an all-time high of 100 exahashes per second \u2014 which many cryptocurrency proponents say makes the Bitcoin network the most powerful supercomputer on Earth.<\/p>\n Thirdly, the BTC price continues to increase on a logarithmic scale as the inflation rate of the cryptocurrency slowly peters to zero \u2014 implying that there is consistently a swelling level of interest in the cryptocurrency as an investment.<\/p>\nRelated Reading: Bitcoin, the Best Performing Asset Ever, is \u201cStill Very Cheap\u201d: Prominent Investor<\/a><\/h6>\n
