Bitcoin’s [BTC] volume oscillator has recently signaled back-to-back ‘Super Signals,’ a rare event that has only occurred during major bull runs.
Historically, such signals preceded massive rallies, including gains of over 10,000% in 2012 and 3,000% in 2016.
The latest occurrence, seen in September 2023, followed a +200% rise in Bitcoin’s price, with another super signal appearing in October 2024.
The ‘Super Signal’ appears when trading volume is extremely low in a bullish market. Analysts suggest that these conditions indicate accumulation, as sellers dwindle while buying interest remains steady.
The absence of prior high-volume spikes further supports a bullish outlook, differentiating this phase from bearish low-volume patterns.
