Is Bitcoin on the Brink of an Unstoppable Surge After Hitting Record Oversold Territory?
Ever wonder if the crypto market’s seen the floor or if the rollercoaster’s just gearing up for another wild drop? Well, Bitcoin’s latest stats might just be whispering a secret—or maybe shouting one. At a striking low, the 2-year MVRV Z-Score throws us back to those nail-biting bottoms seen in 2018 and 2022, sparking chatter about a potential fast rebound. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe spots a clever bullish divergence hiding in the shadows post-October’s massive liquidation chaos, hinting there’s more than meets the eye beneath the price crashes. Meanwhile, savvy whales are jumping in with high-leverage long bets on BTC and ETH, and none other than Arthur Hayes is scooping up altcoins like ENA, ETHFI, and PENDLE, as if he smells an upswing brewing. So, could this be the calm before a storm of profits, or just another bait-and-switch? Let’s dive deeper and see what the numbers and moves really mean.LEARN MORE.

has reclaimed the $91,000 price while traders wonder if the bottom is in for the leading cryptocurrency and other digital assets. In this idea, Michaël van de Poppe highlighted that BTC is “at the most oversold levels in history,” according to an onchain indicator.
The indicator is the MVRV Z-Score, using the 2-year rolling variant. Basically, MVRV calculates Bitcoin’s current “market value” against the network’s collective cost basis, called “realized value.” The 2-year Z-score measures the standard deviation of this metric within a two-year window, offering cycle-oriented insights.
Based on this indicator—showing the lowest levels in the asset’s history, including the 2018 bottom and the 2022 “FTX/LUNA” bottom—BTC could now be at one of the most obvious bottoms, primed for a fast recovery, according to van de Poppe.
#Bitcoin is at the most oversold levels in history.
Yet, people wanted to buy at these levels at $120K and are now looking to buy at $60K.

The analyst later shared another analysis on Bitcoin, highlighting what he believes is a hidden bullish divergence in a “clear uptrend for BTC.” These indicators surge after the leading cryptocurrency has gone through one of its “heaviest” crashes, following October 10’s unprecedented liquidation event and further drops in a scenario described by BitMine’s chairman as a Fed’s quantitative tightening (QT)-like event for crypto.
Besides Bitcoin, Michaël van de Poppe is also looking at NEAR

in what he deems an opportunity and “probably one of the single best opportunities to be accumulating a position.” This is because NEAR is currently trading close to its cycle lows, returning to “October 10 levels.”

It’s swimming around the cycle low and has gone back to the October 10th levels.

Notably, NEAR goes through an interesting moment, with significant developments improving the sentiment around the project while its price lags at a year-long support zone, as Coinspeaker reported. Brave recently added Near Protocol’s stack for AI privacy and verifiability, followed by Kalshi, one of the leading prediction markets, adding support for the token in its platform. Moreover, NEAR Intents volume and revenue have been growing significantly while earning major industry support one month after the NEAR token had its inflation halving approved, reducing annual emissions from 5% to 2.5%.
Other market signals also point towards a bottom formation as whales and prominent figures position themselves with a bullish bias. Coinspeaker saw three large Hyperliquid traders opening high-leverage long positions on Bitcoin and Ethereum
