What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

Capital Flows into BTC Show Similarities to April 2017


 

Bitcoin is up over 250% in 2020, and over 40% in the past month alone. It's natural to wonder if the bitcoin rally has more to go, or if it's reached a longer-term top. Thankfully, we can look at both onchain network data, as well as price data, and compare to prior bitcoin cycles.


Analyst Willy Woo has done just that, comparing the growth in realized cap (a proxy for aggregate entry price) that we see now vs the 2017 bull run. Willy finds that growth now is comparable to April 2017:

tldr

  • Looking at the full bitcoin price chart, we see that April 2017 was near-ish a medium-term top that occurred in late May/June 2017, but far off from the December top that exceeded April's highest level by ~1400%.
  • A number of other onchain indicators are at levels equivalent to May 2017, suggesting BTC may indeed be near a medium-term top.
  • In any event, these indicators are just one way to gain some insight into the bitcoin market, and all onchain indicators that try and pick tops have significant room to run; mostly showing levels akin to early/mid 2017.

Are we missing a recent story that makes the case for bitcoin?
