In June, Bitcoin (BTC) saw itself go through a spectacular blow-off top. In a few weeks, the cryptocurrency had shot up by 50%, leading to a number of predictions that this market would surpass its all-time high in months.<\/p>\n

True to the unpredictable nature of the crypto market, however, this didn’t happen. After tapping $14,000<\/a> \u2014 a quite important historical level, as this is a key Fibonacci Retracement level of the $20,000 bubble \u2014 BTC<\/a> plunged as volumes spiked. Within a day, the asset had plunged some 20%. And it’s been a vast amount of pain since then.<\/p>\n

The blow-off top that was seen in June, though, might be a sign that a long-term Bitcoin bull run is on the horizon. Here’s why.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Preparing for Bull Run<\/h2>\n

This June, the cryptocurrency market set a new volume record. Although some dispute this fact \u2014 the volume records were largely set on exchanges deemed “uncredible” by some \u2014 at least the futures side of Bitcoin (the CME and BitMEX) saw monumental trading days, as Bitcoin incurred its largest rally in over a year. Heck, BitMEX alone processed $16 billion worth of leveraged trades in one day alone.<\/p>\n

When Bitcoin tumbled after this historical volume spike, analysts thought the nail was in the coffin of bulls. Though, digital asset manager Charles Edwards has proposed that the consolidation after the volume record is actually a positive signal.<\/p>\n

In an extensive Twitter thread published<\/a> on Monday, the analyst noted<\/a> that in previous bull markets, fresh all-time highs in volumes were always followed by consolidation.<\/p>\n

Massive volume in Bitcoin<\/p>\n

Guess what? <\/p>\n

Things are not as they may seem.<\/p>\n

Shrinking Spot market volume has been more than compensated for. <\/p>\n

Futures have swallowed the Spot market. BTC 90 day Volume was recently 40% more than the 2017\/18 peak.<\/p>\n
