Bitcoin price poised for a steep correction according to on-chain metrics

  • Bitcoin’s price seems to be overextended after a massive rally to $14,000.
  • Several on-chain metrics and indicators suggest that the flagship cryptocurrency is poised for a correction.

Bitcoin is trading at $13,857 after hitting a low of $13,512 in the past 24 hours. It seems that the uncertainty around US presidential elections is not stopping the digital asset from climbing towards $14,000. As of now, it’s still not clear who will be the winner of the US elections, President Donald Trump or former vice president Joe Biden.

Several on-chain metrics show that Bitcoin is facing intense selling pressure. On November 3, a whale moved close to $1 billion in Bitcoin from the current fourth-largest wallet. CryptoQuant also recorded a massive spike in exchange inflow.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: The full analysis

On the daily chart, the TD Sequential indicator has just presented a sell signal at around $14,000. The RSI remains overextended and the SAR points flipped bearish for the first time since October 8, further increasing the selling pressure.

One of the most concerning on-chain metrics that suggest a massive growth of selling pressure is Bitcoin’s exchange inflow. Cryptoquant has recorded a significant spike in BTC exchange inflow, which means that whales are ready to sell.

Additionally, the Age Consumed metric, which tracks the movement of dormant coins, has presented a huge spike not seen since July 2019. This statistic also adds support to the increased selling pressure for Bitcoin.

If the sell signal on the daily chart gets validated and selling pressure continues, we can easily see Bitcoin’s price dive towards $13,000 to re-test the psychological level and fall as low as $12,684, a strong support level.

On the other hand, the In/Out of the Money Around Price (IOMAP) model shows virtually there’s no opposition on the way up. The area between $13,421 and $13,826 is a robust support range where 1.26 million addresses bought close to 800,000 BTC. A breakout above the psychological resistance level at $14,000 can push the Bitcoin price up to $16,000.
