First, it\u2019s the aSOPR (Adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio), an on-chain metric measuring whether bitcoin investors are selling their units at a profit or a loss on average. It continues to hover below 1, showing that most sales are concluded by holders realizing losses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first technical confirmation of a trend reversal from bearish to bullish will be the aSOPR metric crossing back above zero,\u201d the analyst <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2075913746405281960\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The second is the Puell Multiple, which measures miner profitability by dividing the daily dollar value of newly issued BTC by its 365-day moving average. It shows whether miners are experiencing extreme income stress, as seen earlier this year <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/how-bitcoin-survived-its-biggest-miner-walkout\/\">during one of the largest miner walkouts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The last factor brought up by Martinez was the Reserve Risk Multiple. The on-chain technical indicator demonstrates the confidence of long-term holders relative to its price, and it\u2019s also below 1. Bitcoin would require a \u201cconfirmed break on the aSOPR, followed by zero-line breakouts on the Puell Multiple and Reserve Risk Multiple\u201d to validate the start of a new bull market.<\/p>\n<h2>$82K and Its Importance<\/h2>\n<p>Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe believes $82,000 holds particular significance in the current BTC structure, as the 50-week Moving Average is positioned around that level. Historically, this key MA has served as major resistance, and bitcoin solidified the end of its previous bear market only after it reclaimed that line.<\/p>\n<p>At first, BTC would have to break past the 21-week MA (currently around $75,000) before heading toward the more important 50-week MA, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoMichNL\/status\/2075984713312063608\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> van de Poppe.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>Separately, Ted Pillows focused on bitcoin\u2019s relation and correlation with the S&amp;P 500, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TedPillows\/status\/2075983958186267116\" target=\"_blank\">claiming<\/a> that both asset classes will \u201cdrop over the coming months.\u201d However, he expects the cryptocurrency to emerge victorious after the final leg down.
