This metric shows Bitcoin is at its ‘4th most oversold’ level in history,’ says analyst

The entity-adjusted dormancy flow has historically been used to mark potential price bottoms in the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin continues to struggle with sell-off pressure since its dip below $40,000, with a recent bounce fading off near $39k and then Thursday’s downturn pushing it below $37k once again.

Will Clemente, a popular analyst who hosts the Bitcoin Intelligence podcast and writes a newsletter to over 70,000 investors, believes the current price levels put BTC in a position of a potentially huge bounceback move.

According to the analyst, the benchmark digital asset is trading at its fourth most oversold level in history.

And what metric does he look to as an indicator of a possible bullish reversal? He points to Bitcoin’s entity-adjusted dormancy flow.

„Bitcoin is currently the 4th most oversold in its history according to dormancy flow. Dollar-cost averaging more heavily into this area is probably the best approach for the long-term investor,“ he tweeted.

What’s entity-adjusted dormancy flow?

The dormancy flow basically relates to a measure of whether it’s old coins or new coins that are being moved on-chain every other day. High figures indicate its old coins moving while low figures suggest it’s mostly new coins.

To get the entity-adjusted dormancy flow, the coin destroyed value (dormancy flow) is divided by the market capitalisation.

BTC bottoming

According to the chart, dormancy flow has fallen significantly since the November peak as has the entity adjusted values. Currently, the indicator is below 200,000, with values this low having only been recorded on three other occasions- 2011, 2015, and 2019.

Historically, the market has rallied after the entity adjusted dormancy values fell below 250,000, the latest being in March 2020 and January 2022.

Bitcoin rallied to new highs in each of the previous cases and a similar trajectory would mean the bottom is in around current price ranges.

Solana price drops by 9%: all you need to know about the Wormhole Bridge hack

Solana’s price has taken a hit again after attempting to correct the recent drop. This time the price is dropping after a bridge between Solana and Ethereum, called Wormhole Bridge, was hacked resulting in a loss of 120000 wrapped ETH with an estimated worth of $320 million.

Solana is currently trading at $98.45 with a drop of 9.42% in the last 24 hours. It is now trading 62.15% down from its November 6, 2021, all-time high of $260.06.

SOL’s current market cap stands at $30.9 billion. It has a circulating supply of 314.8 million SOL coins and a 24 hours trading volume of $3.2 billion.

Wormhole Bridge hack

According to emerging reports, the Wormhole Bridge was hacked in the early hours of February 3

According to reports and Twitter posts made by Solana Team, the hack resulted in a loss of about 120,000 wrapped ETH coins worth a whopping $320 million. After the hack, the team said that Ethereum (ETH) will be added to the bridge to ensure that any wrapped ETH on the Bridge is fully backed.

On the other hand, Wormhole has already confirmed that the issue had been sorted out and the vulnerability has been patched. They are currently working on getting the entire network up again.

Wormhole developers went ahead to offer a bug bounty for the exploit details. They said:

“We noticed that you were able to exploit the Solana VAA verification and mint tokens. We would like to offer you a whitehat agreement, and present you a bug bounty of $10 million for exploit details, and returning the wETH you have minted.”

This hack, brings to light again the vulnerability of DeFi protocols, and the co-founder of blockchain analysis firm Elliptic Tom Robinson, said:

“This demonstrates once again that the security of DeFi services has not reached a level that is appropriate for the huge sums being stored within them. The transparency of the blockchain is allowing attackers to identify and exploit major bugs.”

Solana’s unending woes

The bridge hack is the latest in the growing list of Solana’s unending problems. First, it was four consecutive network outages on the Solana network in January and then this hack.

The hack came at a time when Solana was prepared to correct the market price fall of SOL that had resulted from the network congestions. It now complicates issues for the network taunted as an “Ethereum Killer.”

Samczsun, a paradigm security researcher, started by first determining if the hack started on Ethereum or Solana.

From Samczsun’s research, there were only two possible routes that the hacker(s) could have used. They either exploited the bridge or got the private keys. In addition, he said that there was a corresponding transaction on Solana where the hacker bridged out the ETH without depositing them by exploiting a vulnerability to mint wETH. The encoded VM that the attacker submitted showed that it contained valid signatures from the guardians
