Fortunately, BTC has somewhat recovered from the slump, climbing as high as $98,500 on Friday, November 29.<\/p>\n<p>Following the recent Bitcoin price decline, investors have been left wondering if the market cycle top is close \u2014 or if there is still more room for growth. A prominent on-chain analytics firm has revealed that the crypto market is still in a bullish phase.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bitcoin Still In A Bull Market, But Blockchain Firm Sounds Warning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In its latest report, the market analytics platform CryptoQuant has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/community\/dashboard\/67486428f175a3437048713a?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=dashboard&amp;utm_content=crypto-weekly-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">put forward<\/a> a target for the Bitcoin price top in the current cycle. According to the blockchain firm, the market leader\u2019s price top is more in the range of a six-figure valuation.<\/p>\n<p>The major rationale behind this projection is based on the realized price valuation metric, which measures the price at which each coin was last transacted. From a historical perspective, this Bitcoin price band has often acted as an indicator of the market top in past cycles.<\/p>\n<p>According to CryptoQuant, the realized price metric is currently pointing to $146,000 as the possible peak in this cycle. As shown in the chart below, the price band (the red line), currently around $147,000, acted as the market top around April and May 2021.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-346187 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?resize=2874%2C1798\" alt=\"Bitcoin price\" width=\"2874\" height=\"1798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?w=2874 2874w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screen-Shot-2024-11-29-at-21.13.53.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the holdings of new investors are yet to reach an extreme level, which was a signal in the past two market tops.

Historically, bull cycles have been seen to top out when BTC retail investors are accumulating coins aggressively. However, this phenomenon is still absent in the current market condition.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth mentioning that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-price-is-decoupling-from-gold-again-whats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">CryptoQuant<\/a> expects a pullback for the Bitcoin price in the short term.
