According to the analyst, the current situation in the market is generally similar to what was seen in 2016 and 2020, and since then the price of assets showed a noticeable increase in the fourth quarter, he admitted that the same could thing happen now.
The analysis used the CryptoQuant index, which monitors the profitability of the first digital currency in the half-years.

He noted that in 2016, the rate first fell by 40%, but then grew by 2300%, and in 2020, a fall of 30% was replaced by a rebound of 560 %. Finally, he said that 2024 had already seen a decline of 30%, followed by a consolidation in the price range between the historical peak and local levels. In his opinion, this indicates progress to come in the fourth quarter.
