The price of Bitcoin has been in a slight consolidation over the past week, with the premier cryptocurrency struggling to cross the $100,000 mark on Christmas day. However, investors are hoping that the BTC price will gift them one final rally before the close of 2024, and the latest on-chain signals suggest so. Can Increased Buying Pressure Push Bitcoin Price Back Toward $100,000?


In a December 28th post on the X platform, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared an exciting on-chain observation that could influence the Bitcoin price action before the end of 2024. This relevant on-chain indicator here is the “taker buy/sell ratio,” which tracks the taker buy and taker sell volumes for a specific cryptocurrency.

When the value of the taker buy/sell ratio is greater than one, it implies that the taker buy volume is higher than the taker sell volume. This phenomenon is usually considered a bullish signal, which suggests the willingness of investors to pay a higher price for a specific asset (Bitcoin, in this scenario).


On the flip side, if the ratio’s value is less than 1, it suggests that more sellers are willing to sell their assets at a lower price. Typically, this means that the selling pressure is overwhelming the buyers in a particular crypto market while reflecting a bearish sentiment amongst investors. Source: Ali_charts/X


Martinez shared in the post on X that the Bitcoin taker buy/sell ratio on the OKX exchange witnessed a notable spike to as high as 2.3 on Saturday, December 28. This piece of data suggests a surge in buying activity on the centralized trading platform.


Ultimately, this on-chain signal could be bullish for the flagship cryptocurrency, as the increased buying pressure could infuse some upward momentum in the Bitcoin price. As of this writing, the price of BTC sits just beneath the $95,000 mark, reflecting a 0.6% increase in the past day. BTC Continues To Flow Out Of Exchanges


A pseudonymous analyst on the CryptoQuant platform revealed that the amount of BTC flowing into exchanges has hit a multi-year. This is consistent with the low Netflow-to-Reserve ratio, which tracks the difference between exchange netflows and exchange reserves. Related Reading Is Bitcoin Ending 2024 On A High Note?

A negative Netflow-to-Reserve ratio highlights that Bitcoin investors are choosing to keep their assets rather than sell for profits. This on-chain signal is bullish for the premier cryptocurrency and could set the stage for significant price growth in the future.
