Glassnode, a crypto analytics firm, has suggested that the bear market for Bitcoin could be coming to an end, citing positive on-chain metrics.
The firm’s “Recovering from a Bitcoin Bear” signal, which uses eight different metrics analyzing key price models, on-chain activity, profit realization, and long-term holder supply dominance, indicates bullish indicators for Bitcoin.
