Nominal demand is a measure of how much the market’s buying power can absorb newly supplied Bitcoin.
The gauge has improved significantly from two months ago but remains in negative territory. That means demand for Bitcoin is increasing, but not enough to fully absorb supply entering the market.
A similar pattern emerged in February and May before demand weakened again, Darkfost wrote, adding that the current move alone is not enough to qualify as a strong positive signal.
