• Hermetica, a Bitcoin-based decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, has introduced its BTC-backed synthetic dollar, USDH, on Bitcoin's layer one (L1) using the Runes protocol. The initiative includes future scaling efforts through layer two (L2) solutions like Stacks to enhance Bitcoin-native DeFi operations. This development offers Bitcoin users alternatives that reduce reliance on centralized exchanges and fiat-backed stablecoins across other blockchain networks.

• According to CryptoQuant, the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Z-Score provides insights into whether the market is overvalued or undervalued. Historically, MVRV Z-Score around -0.5 has often resulted in significant returns, with the metric peaking at 0.8. When combined with the 365-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), the MVRV Z-Score acts as both support and resistance.
• Currently, the MVRV Z-Score stands at 0.05, finding support from the 365-day SMA indicator. This suggests a potential market bottom and continuation of the bullish trend. This upward movement could persist until it reaches overbought territory, potentially reaching the cyclical peak in the red zone.

Technical analysis: BTC price looks promising

Bitcoin price surged above a descending trendline on Sunday, marking a 7% rally over the following two days and achieving a close above the daily resistance level of $64,913 by Tuesday. At the time of writing on Wednesday, BTC is trading slightly up by 0.14% at $65,158. Such a strong upward momentum often precedes a retracement, presenting a potential buying opportunity for investors on the sidelines.

Sideline buyers seeking opportunities can consider positions between $59,200 and $57,800, where the previously broken trendline resistance now serves as support. However, should BTC sustain its bullish momentum, it may advance by 3% from its current trading price of $65,158 to test the weekly resistance of around $67,209.

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently above the neutral level of 50, and the Awesome Oscillator (A.O.) has also flipped above its neutral level of zero. These momentum indicators strongly indicate bullish dominance.

Furthermore, surpassing the $67,209 level could allow an additional 7% rise to retest its daily high of $71,997 from June 7.

Conversely, if BTC closes below $56,405 and forms a lower low in the daily timeframe, it may signal persistent bearish sentiment. This scenario could trigger a 7.5% decline in Bitcoin's price, targeting its daily support at $52,266.
