Thanks to Glassnode’s newest creativity and information engineering, we have now a novel view of bitcoin’s value adjustments throughout main regional working hours. The charts beneath leverage their new information which tracks the cumulative 30-day value change throughout U.S., EU and Asian buying and selling hours.
This gives us with an attention-grabbing view of the market’s buy- and sell-side strain throughout geographic areas. The first chart beneath exhibits absolutely the 30-day change in value since 2018. As value progresses increased, the current value adjustments over the past 12 months stand out extra within the first chart. Below, we normalize this to a relative % change for simpler historic comparisons.
Over the final 12 months, we will see that the July 2021 drawdown was closely bought by the U.S. and reasonably from the EU with comparatively small sell-side adjustments from Asia. Yet within the present drawdown from earlier all-time highs, Asia has dominated the sell-side strain available in the market and continues to accomplish that in bitcoin’s present $35,000-to-$45,000 value vary. The newest value momentum to the upside and hints of elevated demand as of late look to be coming from U.S. and EU consumers.
We discover the info simpler to evaluate on a relative % foundation within the beneath charts. The newer Asia promoting strain (bitcoin value change throughout China Standard Time working hours) was a few of the strongest promote strain seen because the cycle prime in December 2017.
The strongest promote strain seen from the U.S. was from the 2 months prior to the July 2021 native backside. Some of the most important U.S. buy-side strain got here proper after this backside with some speedy “buy the dip”-demand in August 2021.

With such a divergence in purchase and promote strain throughout areas and protracted Asian-hours promoting strain proper now, it might be time for cautious optimism till we see bitcoin maintain a breakout above $45,000. From our view, we nonetheless look to be in a bear market rally interval for risk-on belongings. Approximately $46,000 nonetheless displays the newest short-term holder on-chain value foundation.
