Bitcoin (BTC) seems to be on the brink of a ‘full bull’ BTC price phase, according to market analyst Cole Garner’s predictions. Garner’s analysis, shared on social media on August 6, suggests that a significant upswing is on the horizon for both Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency market.
Signs of a Strengthening Bull Market
Despite the current stagnation in BTC price action, those with a long-term perspective believe this cycle is no different from previous ones. Garner’s optimism stems from the activities of Bitcoin’s largest investors, often referred to as ‘whales’. As he put it, “Whale accumulation trends are a bull market’s backbone.”
Garner’s analysis is supported by data from the analytics team Jarvis Labs. Their findings, shared in response to a June Cointelegraph article, pointed to a continuing ‘multi-month buying frenzy’ among Bitcoin whales.
Increased Exposure from Smaller Investors
However, it’s not just the whales that are making waves. Smaller investors, known as ‘fish’, are also increasing their BTC holdings. According to a popular technical analyst, CryptoCon, these whales can be seen as ‘diamond hands’ due to their holding behavior in the current cycle.
“The small investor to whale ratio is full force surging. What does this mean? The investors that have been selling this cycle (2022 – 2023) are small, whales are holding,” an analysis from Aug. 3 reads. CryptoCon adds that this is a powerful indicator for the BTC price phase, as seen in past surges.
Key Factors for a Bullish BTC Price Phase
Garner also highlighted the importance of the Bitcoin-to-stablecoin ratio on the major exchange Bitfinex. This ratio has exhibited behavior that has predated every major bull run in Bitcoin’s history.
As to when this bullish BTC price breakout could occur, Garner anticipates a Q3 launch. He acknowledged the impact of summer seasonality, a force more potent than many realize, but believes that any shakeout won’t happen until September.
However, Garner warns that a weekly close below Bitcoin’s 200-week simple moving average (SMA), currently at $27,235, would invalidate this bullish perspective.
