Although bearish sentiments currently mount, a popular crypto analyst and trader, Nicholas Merten, has stated that Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is about to surprise everyone, citing a historical indicator that recently popped up.
In a new strategic session, the closely followed analyst told his teeming YouTube subscribers that price action indeed looks unattractive for the flagship crypto, but one indicator is suggesting that the bulls are about to take charge of the market.

“That has led to the exacerbated rallies in price, recoveries in the market, and all the new all-time highs that we’ve set but it also played a role in the sharp 50% corrections that we’ve seen throughout this cycle, many times before.”
