Lately, one of the most popular topics of conversation on crypto Twitter has been centered around trying to predict the bottom in Bitcoin price.

According to cryptocurrency research firm Delphi Digital, Bitcoin has now closed below its 200 weekly average for four consecutive weeks, a development that has historically marked previous market bottoms.

As for whether or not Bitcoin traders should expect a rapid recovery, Delphi Digital noted that this is the longest BTC has remained below its 200 weekly average and highlighted the fact that Bitcoins weekly correlation coefficient continues to remain inversely related to the US Dollar as it hit a 17-month low of -0.77.

While a strong dollar suggests that Bitcoin price will continue to struggle alongside other assets, Delphi Digital highlighted one encouraging development that suggests BTC adoption continues to grow.
