In one of its Quicktake blog posts on Nov. 13, Onchained, a contributor to onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant, joined those anticipating more gains.
“Notably, the 0nchained Top/Bottom Index had declined to the levels it registered during the $73,000 price point back in March, signaling significant room for potential upside,” they wrote, referring to one of its proprietary trading indicators.
The result was that BTC/USD “could potentially rise from its current level of $93,000 to reach a peak between $180,000 and $200,000.”
“Again, and again, we’re not at the peak yet! The index suggests that the top will be reached when the indicator falls within the 0 to 0.09 range—currently, it’s still at 0.27,” the post concluded.
