Bitcoin's Rare Holder Signal Ignites Fresh Bull Phase Hopes Amidst AlphaPepe Presale Success
Bitcoin has flashed a rare 'holder signal' that suggests a possible fresh bull phase may be underway. The signal, which compares the average purchase price of newer Bitcoin holders with those of longer-term holders, has only appeared four times before in its history - in 2012, 2015, 2019, and 2023.
The current reading is likely influenced by institutional buying, as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted around $999 million on September 21 alone. However, the signal does not provide an exact timing for a breakout.
In related news, AlphaPepe has surpassed $2.79 million in its presale, with 12,000 holders already committed to buying the token before its first public exchange listing. The project's team is targeting a Q1 2027 launch on a decentralized exchange (DEX) after closing the presale.
The rare holder signal and AlphaPepe's presale success come at a time when the market is awaiting a large Bitcoin options expiry on September 25, which could lead to choppy price action. While the signal is bullish in nature, it does not guarantee a long-term trend and may be followed by a pullback.
