Bitcoin’s Puell Multiple Dips Into Bullish Territory: Is A Breakout Coming?

The Bitcoin Puell Multiple, a key on-chain metric used to assess the profitability of Bitcoin miners, is currently signaling a potential bullish reversal for the leading cryptocurrency.

According to a CryptoQuant analyst under the pseudonym Darkfost, this metric has recently dipped into the “green zone,” a signal historically associated with upward price movements for Bitcoin. The analyst shared these insights earlier today on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform.

The Puell Multiple measures the relationship between Bitcoin miners’ short-term revenue and average earnings over the past year. By comparing these figures, the metric offers a glimpse into the overall profitability of miners and its potential impact on the broader market.

Miners, as key participants in the Bitcoin ecosystem, influence market supply, and their decision to either hold or sell mined Bitcoin can trigger significant price movements.

The Puell Multiple is divided into two primary zones that provide crucial market insights: the “red zone” and the “green zone.” The red zone, characterized by a value above 4, according to the CryptoQuant analyst, indicates that miners are generating substantial profits.

When miners are highly profitable, they are more likely to sell their Bitcoin holdings, which can lead to increased market supply and downward pressure on the price. Historically, reaching the red zone has often preceded a market correction.

On the other hand, the green zone, defined as values below 0.5, indicates that miners are operating with very low profitability or even at a loss. When miners struggle to break even, they may reduce their operations or shut down their mining rigs altogether.

This can decrease selling pressure in the market, often creating conditions for a bullish reversal. According to Darkfost, the Puell Multiple recently hit 0.5, signaling that miners are currently in the green zone—a strong indicator that the market could be poised for an upward shift.

While an upward momentum may be certain for BTC, given the current trend in its Puell Multiple metrics, the asset’s performance over the past few days has been quite appealing.

Particularly, following the US announced decision on the Fed rate cut last Thursday, Bitcoin has seen a consistent increase in price day after day, which has now brought its uptick in the last week to nearly 10%.

Currently, the asset trades for $62,830. This trading price comes against the backdrop of Bitcoin seeing a slight dip of 0.4% over the past day.

Regarding prospects, renowned crypto analyst Ali on X has recently shared his outlook on Bitcoin, disclosing that if BTC follows the last two cycles, a market top could occur by October 2025.
