Bitcoin BCMI Index Enters Key Accumulation Zone
CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu reported that the BCMI has fallen into the 0.2 to 0.3 range.
This level is notable.
Historically, it marks periods where Bitcoin trades at a deep discount relative to its long-term value.
The BCMI combines four indicators: MVRV, NUPL, SOPR, and Fear and Greed. MVRV carries a 30% weighting, while NUPL accounts for 25%.

“We are entering a "Value-Accumulation Zone." The data suggests the downside is becoming limited compared to the long-term upside. However, wait for price stabilisation to confirm the index's bottom signal.” – By @Woo_Minkyu pic.twitter.com/smrhRJ5EFJ

Together, they confirm that the current correction has reset both realized value and investor sentiment. According to CryptoQuant, these readings have not appeared since early 2023.
The analyst noted that the 90-day simple moving average is still trending downward. A flattening of that slope would signal that selling momentum has finally run its course.
Until then, CryptoQuant urges patience and highlights the importance of waiting for price stabilization before reading this as a confirmed bottom signal.
BTC Price Reclaims $75,000 as Traders Eye $78K to $80K
Bitcoin crossed back above $75,000 this week.
According to CoinGecko, BTC was trading at $75,867 at the time of reporting. That reflects a 1.66% gain over the past 24 hours and a 6.14% rise across the last seven days.
Trading volume over the same 24-hour period reached over $44 billion.
Trader Ted Pillows pointed to $76,000 as the key level to watch.
$BTC is back above the $75,000 level.
The key zone for Bitcoin here is $76,000 and a reclaim could push BTC towards the $78,000-$80,000 zone.

He noted that a reclaim of that level could push Bitcoin toward the $78,000 to $80,000 range. That zone, he said, is where he plans to enter a short position.
The price action aligns with broader market observations. BTC holding above $75,000 shows some resilience, though traders remain cautious heading into major resistance levels.
What Analysts Say About Bitcoin’s Next Move
CryptoQuant describes the current environment as a “Value-Accumulation Zone.”
The firm believes downside risk is becoming more limited relative to long-term upside. However, the note is clear. The data alone does not guarantee a sharp recovery.
Confirmation through price stabilization remains the recommended trigger.
The market has entered a zone worth monitoring, but timing remains uncertain. Analysts continue watching on-chain data for any shift in momentum.
