The Bitcoin bull cycle is still far from over, with many large Bitcoin investors selling as the market enters a period of price correction, according to on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant.
Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, may have now entered a period of price correction after reaching an all-time high of $73,000. The Bitcoin price may test the $58,000–$60,000 range.
“However, in spite of this price correction, the Bitcoin bull cycle is still far from over as shown by the relatively low level of investment flows from new investors and as price valuation metrics are not yet near levels consistent with past market tops,” said CryptoQuant.
Several metrics reached overheated levels as the token reached $73,000 on March 14 and hit a low of $61,700 on March 19. The price correction occurred as traders started selling to realize extremely high profit margins.
“Large Bitcoin holders started selling more aggressively as prices went above $70,000. Large holders transferred 567,000 Bitcoin, or 35% of total transfers on the network, when Bitcoin reached its all-time-high price on March 12,” said CryptoQuant.

“On a longer-term perspective, the Bitcoin bull cycle is still far from over as shown by the relatively low level of new investment flows,” said the firm.
CryptoQuant data shows that 48% of Bitcoin investment is coming from short-term holders, while the bull cycle typically ends with 84%–92% of investment from these types of holders. The firm goes on to explain that it is worth noting the market has reached levels similar to mid-2019 (52%), when Bitcoin also experienced a meaningful correction.
