Indicators Suggest Bitcoin Could Skyrocket to $85K: Here’s Why
Seasoned Bitcoin Holders Back in Accumulation Mode: A Deep Dive into the Value Days Destroyed Metric and its Implication for a Bullish Breakout
Key Points
- Bitcoin’s Value Days Destroyed (VDD) metric has reached a historically low level, indicating a shift towards accumulation.
- Historical patterns suggest these low VDD phases often precede bullish price movements, pointing to a potentially optimistic long-term outlook.
The latest on-chain data shows a possible strategic buildup for Bitcoin (BTC) , as seasoned market participants appear to be moving from profit-taking to accumulation. The Value Days Destroyed (VDD) metric, in particular, is now in a phase that has historically been associated with future price increases.
Bitcoin’s Accumulation Phases
The Bitcoin VDD chart has shown four significant accumulation phases: January and October 2023, October 2024, and now, March 2025. Each phase is characterized by a sharp drop in VDD, indicating reduced coin movement and increased conviction among long-term holders. The current reading is the lowest it’s been since mid-2024. Historically, such low VDD values have often preceded strong bullish moves.
The behavior of these seasoned participants, who tend to buy low and exit near local tops, provides a reliable measure of broader market sentiment. Their current stance suggests that they do not view the current price levels as favorable for distribution.
Smart Money Holding Steady
There are no signs of profit-taking from smart money at this time. Red circles on the Bitcoin VDD chart point to four distinct selling spikes—January, April, July, and March 2025—each corresponding to local tops. This highlights the strategic nature of these entities in capturing profits. However, as of now, there is no such spike.
The lack of realized value destruction supports the theory that smart money is staying put. This conviction contributes to the formation of a price floor near the $82K level, discouraging aggressive short-selling in the current structure.
At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $82,011, below both the 50-day and 200-day Moving Averages. Despite the bearish short-term structure, the Accumulation/Distribution Line is stable, indicating that distribution pressure has not increased. This divergence could point to a hidden bullish divergence forming, which would be confirmed if the price stabilizes and breaks above the $ 84K-$ 85K resistance zone.
Bitcoin’s current low VDD environment, coupled with the accumulation behavior of long-term holders and muted distribution metrics, suggests a potential bottoming phase. If historical patterns hold true, BTC may be gearing up for its next bullish impulse.
