PANews reported on February 10th that, according to Cointelegraph, on-chain data shows that as of February 9th, the Bitcoin "Mayer Multiple" indicator had fallen to 0.65, below the "oversold" level of 0.8, the first time this has occurred since May 2022.

However, extreme lows do not always indicate a price bottom. In mid-2022, this indicator fell to 0.47, but BTC subsequently dropped by approximately 58% over the next four months.

Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that Bitcoin may fall further, potentially even dipping to the $40,000 range in extreme cases.
