Bitcoin's Bull Score Jumps From 30 to 80 in a Week, Fastest Flip in a Year

Bitcoin's Bull Score, a Cryptoquant gauge of market health, shot from 30 to 80 in a single week — the fastest such flip in a year. The surge came as the price rallied to $81,000, but analysts note that a weekly close above $83,000 is still required to confirm a new bull market.

The fastest flip in a year

The Bull Score, which tracks a range of on-chain and market signals, had been sitting at a muted 30 for weeks. Over the last seven days it doubled, then nearly tripled, hitting 80. That kind of momentum is rare; the last time it moved this quickly was over a year ago, when the gauge swung from bearish to bullish territory in a similar burst.

What the score reads

Cryptoquant's Bull Score is a composite measure — it pulls in things like miner flows, exchange reserves, and derivatives activity. A score above 75 is typically taken as a signal that the market is in a healthy bull phase. At 80, it's now squarely in that zone. But the gauge doesn't look forward; it's a snapshot of the present. And the present still has one unresolved question: whether Bitcoin can close a week above $83,000.

The $83,000 line

The price is at $81,000, so the weekly close threshold is a couple of thousand dollars away. A weekly close above $83,000 would be the confirmation that the Bull Score is pointing at the real thing, not just a short-lived squeeze. If the market stalls below that, the score could roll over just as fast as it jumped.

The speed of the flip matters. A fast move from 30 to 80 suggests the market is not just drifting — it's being pushed. That kind of acceleration often brings volatility. For traders, the next few days are the tell: can the price hold near $81,000 and push toward $83,000, or does the rally fade before the weekly close? The Bull Score says the odds have improved, but it doesn't settle the bet.
