Bitcoin On-Chain Analysis: Mostly Bearish

Overall we can see the on-chain metrics for Bitcoin this week ending Jan. 7th, 2022 are mostly bearish, with 3 bearish signals, 3 neutral, and 1 bullish.

BTC currently trades at $41,754 and we can see two of the more bearish signals include In the Money and Large Transactions, although these signals are significantly less bearish than last week.

As we can see in the top stories this week, the Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index has dipped to lows not seen since July, which could be a buying signal given the run that took place after the July lows.
