According to on-chain analyst CryptoChan, the ratio of the average price of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) to short-term holders (STH) chips (LTH/STH cost benchmark ratio) has now dropped to 0.282 , which has been an important signal for the starting point of the bull market in history.

On May 6, 2017, after the indicator touched 0.282, the price of Bitcoin started around $1,500 and eventually reached a high of nearly $20,000 by the end of the year.

On December 24, 2020, the indicator fell to 0.281 again, and then Bitcoin ushered in a super bull market where the price broke through from $20,000 to $60,000;

Currently, the indicator has fallen back to 0.282 for the third time, and the trigger of this key area is highly similar to the starting point of the previous bull market.

The upper part of the chart shows the price trend of Bitcoin, and the shows the ratio indicator of "average buying price of long-term holders' chips" and "average buying price of short-term holders' chips". Current data indicates that the Bitcoin market is replicating the chip distribution status before the launch of the past two bull markets, which may imply an imminent price change.
