In a recent publication, lead investment manager VanEck reported that BTC had already fired 8 out of 12 capitulation signals. Among these are the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) Z-score, the 49% drawdown from all-time high prices, net unrealized profit/loss (NUPL), and percentage supply in profit.

At some point in the last 3 months, the flagship cryptocurrency had fired all 12 signals, indicating a likely bottoming out in preparation for a full-on rally.

Bitcoin breaks above consolidation and taps $69K

At writing time, BTC had broken above its months-long consolidation between $62K and $64K, gained 7.02%, and reached a price of $69,081.

Its MVRV Z-score read 0.53, indicating entry into a neutral zone where price is well supported by actual buyer cost basis.

Additionally, the coin’s apparent demand has turned positive for the first time since February 2026, reaching roughly +25,000 BTC. This indicates an exhaustion in selling pressure and is historically associated with an 18.1% median gain ($81,489) over 60 days at a 78% win rate.
