U.Today - The Puell Multiple, a crucial metric for Bitcoin market analysis, has recently resistance levels previously observed during pivotal years in Bitcoin's history, specifically in 2012, 2016, and 2019. This development marks a potentially critical juncture for Bitcoin amidst its current price volatility.

Understanding the Puell Multiple

The Puell Multiple is an important metric in the cryptocurrency world. It is calculated by dividing the daily issuance value of Bitcoins (in USD) by the 365-day moving average of the daily issuance value.

This indicator is often used to gauge the health and potential future movements of Bitcoin's price. When the Puell Multiple reaches higher values, it is typically seen as a sign of market overheating, often leading to a corrective phase.

Conversely, lower values can indicate periods of undervaluation, suggesting potential buying opportunities.

Bitcoin's price dip

Alongside the rising Puell Multiple, Bitcoin's price has recently dipped below the significant $42,000 threshold.

Bitcoin's market capitalization stands at a substantial $829.73 billion, but it is still far from its all-time peak.
