Benzinga - As the cryptocurrency market continues to experience turbulence, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) might be on the brink of a significant upswing, according to historical data.
What Happened: Ali Martinez, a prominent crypto analyst, took to social media platform X to share a promising insight. Martinez highlighted the potential for a substantial Bitcoin surge, based on historical trends.
“The last three times the #Bitcoin 30-day MVRV dropped below -9% in the last two years, the price of $BTC surged by 64%, 63%, and 99%, respectively. The #BTC 30-day MVRV is currently at -11.6%, suggesting it may be time to buy the dip!” Martinez wrote.

The MVRV ratio, which divides an asset’s market capitalization by its realized capitalization, is a pivotal metric in the crypto space. A higher MVRV ratio typically indicates a greater potential profit, potentially leading to increased selling pressure.

Why It Matters: This insight comes at a time when the crypto market is facing significant challenges. On the same day, Bitcoin’s value dropped below $58,000, triggering losses for other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).
Moreover, crypto research firm 10x Research has predicted a further 20% drop in Bitcoin’s value, citing the differing risk management approaches between institutional investors and retail traders.
However, if Martinez’s analysis holds true, Bitcoin could be on the verge of a remarkable recovery. This is particularly noteworthy in light of concerns raised by analysts about potential selling pressure from retail “degens” who bought Bitcoin ETFs at around $58,000.
Price Action: Bitcoin is currently priced at $57,635, marking a 1.08% decrease over the last 24 hours. However, it has seen an impressive 30.48% increase since the beginning of the year, according to the data from Benzinga Pro.
