Bitcoin’s All-Time High in March: Why It Might Not Be The Final Peak Yet—CryptoQuant

As a seasoned crypto investor with battle scars from numerous market cycles, I have learned to navigate the tumultuous seas of Bitcoin with a blend of patience and cautious optimism. The recent price action of Bitcoin has me intrigued. While some may view the March peak as the final nail in the coffin for this bull run, I find myself swayed by the analysis of CryptoQuant’s Sachi.


2024 saw Bitcoin‘s price movements garner considerable interest among investors and experts alike. In March, Bitcoin hit an unprecedented record high, but since then, its value has been steadily dropping, leading some to ponder if this was the culmination of the bull market trend.

Some people thought the March peak marked the market reaching its highest point, but a fresh analysis indicates it might have just been a temporary high point instead.

Is Bitcoin Set For Another Surge?

According to a CryptoQuant analyst named Sachi, their analysis of Bitcoin’s on-chain data suggests that while it peaked in March, the market likely hasn’t yet reached its maximum point.

The analysis highlights the importance of long-term holder activity and the use of the Binary Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) indicator to gauge market maturity.

As per Sachi’s analysis, while certain long-term investors cashed out in March, the trends suggest that this peak might not mark the absolute top of the market cycle. Instead, it seems Bitcoin could be experiencing a “cooling-off” period, potentially leading to another bullish trend in the future.

The Binary Capital Duration Model (or Binary CDD for short), which monitors the behavior of long-term Bitcoin investors, provides greater insight. Historically, when Bitcoin reached its peak market value during bullish trends, the Binary CDD moved into a “red zone” (as shown in the chart below), indicating that long-term holders were exerting high levels of selling pressure.

Contrarily, despite hitting an all-time high in March, Binary CDD hasn’t moved into that particular zone, implying that the market may still be premature for its ultimate phase.

According to a study by CryptoQuant, there’s been a notable reduction in selling pressure from long-term investors since March, which implies that the market may still be in its early stages and not fully matured.

Sachi revealed that although the March peak might have led to a short-term deceleration, it’s not signaling the conclusion of the bull market. Instead, it seems like Bitcoin is undergoing a period of consolidation, during which both price and time are readjusting before another upward trend begins.

The analyst added:

After this stage ends, there might be a further rise in value. As we near the peak, it’s expected that long-term investors will become active again. If Binary CDD enters the red zone, it could signal another phase of price changes.

Bitcoin Current Market Performance

To date, Bitcoin has persistently hovered slightly below the significant $60,000 threshold. Despite a few attempts to surpass this level, these efforts have not been successful, resulting in further price reduction instead.

At this moment, Bitcoin has experienced a decrease of approximately 5.7% over the last seven days. Yet, its value in the last 24 hours has shown signs of improvement, rising by around 1.5%, currently being traded for $57,171.
