Ciaran Lyons1 hour agoIs Bitcoin"s on-chain bull run momentum over? Indicator flashes redThe indicator signals that behavior amongst Bitcoin OGs is quite different to previous Bitcoin halvings.749 Total viewsListen to article 0:00Markets NewsOwn this piece of crypto historyCollect this article as NFTJoin us on social networksBitcoin (BTC) OGs appear to be gearing up to cash in on their gains ahead of the Bitcoin halving, according to a leading indicator popular among crypto traders.


An indicator called the Value Days Destroyed (VDD) Multiple recently spiked above 4.0, leading crypto commentators to speculate that the wider market could be nearing the end of the bull run.

The VDD Multiple is intended to highlight instances where the price of Bitcoin could be showing signs of overheating and nearing its peak during major market cycles.


A higher VDD Multiple reading indicates a larger number of Bitcoin quickly entering the market, likely to be sold.


It is measured bymultiplying the existing Coin Days Destroyed metric by the current price of Bitcoin to compare spending velocity over time.


Currently, it stands at 3.03, having briefly surged to 4.21 on March 28. It has doubled since the beginning of this year when the VDD multiple hovered around 2.04 on Jan. 1, as per GlassNodedata.The VDD multiple indicator peaked at 4.4 in April 2013. Source: Glassnode


The last time the VDD multiple went above 4 was in January 2021, when Bitcoin was $40,257.


However, the brief peak before the cooldown didn"t result in a market downturn, as Bitcoin"s price promptly surged. Just two months later, Bitcoin’s price soared by 52.2% to $61,283 in March 2021, as per CoinMarketCap data.


It is now just nine days to the Bitcoin halving, and it has surpassed the levels observed before past halving events.


During the same timeframe preceding the last halving on July 9, 2016, the VDD multiple stood at 0.419, while it reached 1.606 10 days before the 2020 Bitcoin halving.

A senior researcher at Glassnode who goes by the name CryptoVizArt on X, attributed the soaring VDD multiple levels to the substantial outflows from Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).


“Volume and age of Grayscale coins moving since 10th of January, push VDD to new highs,” he stated in an April 10post on X.


On Jan. 10, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) for trading. Since their approval, GBTC has shed a total of $15.96 billion in assets, as per Farside data.


The fund’s high fees relative to the other Bitcoin ETFs were also noted as a reason for the elevated outflows.


Bitcoin has surged by 56% since Jan. 1 this year, climbing from $44,172 to its current price of $69,260 at the time of publication.
