- 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.

A total of seven Bitcoin futures ETFs have been approved, with more than 20 still waiting for the regulator’s permission. The SEC says that the cryptocurrency industry is new and subject to manipulation, which is why it has been delaying crypto-related futures ETFs for the last few years.
Bitcoin spot ETF has been approved outside the US, but the SEC is yet to approve one in the country. After BlackRock filed for a Bitcoin spot ETF on June 15, the interest surrounding crypto ETFs has been renewed. Grayscale – whose application for a Bitcoin spot ETF was initially rejected by the SEC – got a victory in court, forcing the US regulator to review its proposal again. The SEC’s loss in this lawsuit has fueled hopes that a Bitcoin spot ETF might be approved by the end of the year.
