Meanwhile, a recent report published by Santiment data aggregator shows that the long-term metrics of Bitcoin have been demonstrating signs of a reverse for several months already, even though the price remains in the lows.

The indicators that are showing signs positive for Bitcoin are MDIA (no distribution of BTC has been occurring for a long time now) and MVRV, social volume and weighted sentiment, and network-realised-profit-loss (NRPL).

On Oct.17, Weiss Crypto, a cryptocurrency-focused arm of Weiss Ratings agency, stated that despite the unimpressive market performance over the weekend, the flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, may be on the verge of a breakout, judging by the behavior of technical indicators.

The report stated that Bitcoin is "very bullish in the technical sense."

Besides, the fact that the BTC hashratereached a new peak the other dayalso confirms theprobability of a breakout happening soon.

At the time of this writing, the leading digital cryptocurrency is changing hands at the $19,537 level, up 1.49%in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin is trying to regain its recent losses after it dropped from the $19,800 peak a few days ago on Oct.14.

This rise followed a dump of the price down to the $18,183 zone a day before that, following therelease of October CPI data, which was higher than expected. This means that the Federal Reserve is likely to continue raising interest rates in an attempt to break the back of the rising inflation.
