On-chain data shows the Bitcoin binary CDD is currently nearing a breakout that has marked the start of bull rallies in the past.<\/p>\n
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post<\/a>, the binary CDD is currently inside the “accumulation zone.” To understand what the “binary CDD<\/a>” indicator does, the concept of “coin days” needs to be looked at first.<\/p>\n A coin day is a quantity that 1 BTC accumulates after sitting dormant for 1 day on the blockchain. This means that, for instance, if a stack of 3 coins sits still for 3 days, it will have amassed 9 coin days in total.<\/p>\n Now, when the coins that have accumulated some amount of coin days are eventually moved across wallets, their coin days counter naturally resets back to zero, and these coin days that they had previously accumulated are said to be “destroyed.”<\/p>\n The “Coin Days Destroyed<\/a>” (CDD) is a metric that keeps track of such coin days being reset across the entire BTC network. When this indicator has an elevated value, it means a large number of dormant coins are possibly moving on the network right now.<\/p>\n A cohort called the long-term holder<\/a> (LTH) group holds onto their coins for long periods of time (thus amassing a large number of coin days), so when the CDD is high, it implies these investors are on the move.<\/p>\n As mentioned before, the relevant version of the CDD here is the binary CDD, which is a metric that basically tells us whether the current value of CDD is higher than the average or not.<\/p>\n Here is a chart that shows the trend in this 182-day moving average (MA) of this Bitcoin indicator over the last few years:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you can see in the above graph, the quant has highlighted the trend that the 182-day MA Bitcoin binary CDD followed just before two previous rallies. It seems like both before the April 2019 rally and the bull run in the first half, the metric broke out of the “accumulation zone.”<\/p>\nLooks like the 182-day MA value of the metric has seen some slight rise in recent days | Source: CryptoQuant<\/a><\/pre>\n
