As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in financial markets, I have witnessed countless market cycles and trends that have shaped my perspective. The recent developments in the Bitcoin market are intriguing, to say the least.
Over the last month, the primary digital currency, Bitcoin (BTC), has experienced a surge of over 8%, bucking its typical September slump. This upward trend appears to be fostering an increasing sense of faith among investors.
Based on information from crypto analytics company CryptoQuant, which was initially discussed by well-known on-chain analyst Alex Adler, it appears that some individuals who hold cryptocurrencies short-term (STHs) saw their investments turn into profits due to the recent price increase. Consequently, these STHs began offloading their coins.
As an analyst, I’ve observed a significant reduction of approximately 1.31 million Bitcoin from short-term holders, equivalent to around $83 billion. This trend suggests that fewer Bitcoins are being circulated among short-term holders, which could be interpreted as a sign of increasing market confidence.
Some entities have transitioned into profit and are offloading their cryptocurrency coins, as evidenced by the green circle on the chart. However, the reduction of Bitcoin supply by approximately 1.31 million BTC among these entities suggests that fewer Bitcoins are being held by them (HODLers). This decrease indicates a growing level of trust and confidence in the market.— Axel 💎🙌 Adler Jr (@AxelAdlerJr) September 30, 2024
Reduced ownership of the primary cryptocurrency among short-term investors might indicate a potential increase in its value within the immediate timeframe, should demand persist or strengthen. This is because long-term investors typically do not plan on selling soon.
Significantly, the buildup is due to a decrease in Bitcoins held on cryptocurrency exchanges, which has fallen to a fresh five-year low. This decline started earlier this year and currently, approximately 2.6 million Bitcoins are found on these platforms, compared to around 3.3 million two years ago.
Having less Bitcoin stored on exchanges indicates a positive (bullish) trend, because if the demand for this cryptocurrency remains consistent or increases, the reduced supply could potentially cause an increase in its price.
The decrease in Bitcoin’s value occurs when the Bitcoin miners have minimized their BTC holdings to an extent not seen since January 2021, a period when the cryptocurrency experienced a substantial increase from approximately $25,000 to over $69,000 before undergoing a decline.
Due to the recent halving event in April, the quantity of Bitcoins owned by miners has dropped to its lowest point in three years. This is because the reward for each new block mined was reduced by half during the upgrade.
