Bitcoin’s deviation from its price compression below $70,000 didn’t last long despite the price surge to $74,000 on Wednesday, and the asset struggles below $68,000 as of press time. Although it has essentially returned to its familiar trading range as of the past month, one analyst believes the best is yet to come, at least according to the BTC Inter-exchange Flow Pulse metric. 30 to 40 Days for the Next Rally? CW noted on X that the metric, which tracks the flows of BTC between spot and derivatives exchanges, had just formed a golden cross, which has acted as the catalyst for an “explosive upward movement” in the past. However, the rally hasn’t been instant after the formation of such a golden cross in previous years. The analyst said that it took BTC roughly 30 days to go on a wild run after the bear market had ended in 2019. In 2023, the necessary timeframe went up by 10 days.

In the case of the current cycle, that level sits around $60,000.

After every blow-off top comes the same pattern. Liquidity drains. Momentum fades. Price returns to the macro trendline. That level now sits near 60K. Hold it and the cycle structure survives. Lose it and history may repeat. pic.twitter.com/XpPsAETajM — Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) March 7, 2026 The post The 30-Day Countdown: Bitcoin’s ‘Golden Cross’ Signal Points to Explosive Rally appeared first on CryptoPotato .
