CryptoQuant Signals New Bitcoin Bull Market Regime
bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $80,244 after a 14.3% weekly gain, positioning it within $3,000 of a critical market level. CryptoQuant states that Bitcoin has entered a new market regime, with its Bull Score rising from 30 to 80 in just one week. This reading matches the firm's most bullish data since October 6, 2025, when BTC was priced at $124,000.
Eight of ten valuation metrics are now bullish, and apparent spot demand is expanding at its fastest monthly pace since late December. Spot and futures demand are growing together for the first time since early October 2025, a move amplified by Washington policy signals and Trump's remarks on Bitcoin purchases. Confirmation of this new bull market requires a daily close above the 365-day moving average, which sits near $83,000.
CryptoQuant described this as a genuine regime shift that needs official confirmation. Glassnode identifies a similar overhead structure between $81,000 and $86,000, where demand meets its test.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for BTC, measured when this story was written up on 27 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio's spot data shows BTC trading at $79,023.75 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 49.9%, indicating balanced activity. However, shorter-term pressure is fading, with the 1-hour buy ratio dropping to 41.3% and the 4-hour ratio at 46.3%. Volume Delta reflects this shift, showing net selling of -$13,333,115 in the last hour and -$26,934,662 over four hours. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close stands at -$89,558,211, confirming that sellers have dominated the recent flow. This suggests that while buying interest remains near parity over the full day, immediate momentum is weakening. The market has seen net buying in only 7 of the last 24 hours, highlighting a lack of sustained aggressive buying.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.7% sits at the 18th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What BTC did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for BTC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 51.6%, making today's 49.9% reading slightly below the weekly norm. Volume activity has slowed considerably, with current volume at just 0.54 times the weekly average. While the weekly Volume Delta was positive at +$445,688,281, the current hourly outflow signals a pause in that accumulation. This represents an unusual day for the coin, as volume is halved compared to the recent average. The shift from a net positive weekly delta to negative hourly deltas indicates a cooling off after the 14.0% price increase.
