Tom DeMark’s indicator predicts the potential time when a trend might run out and flip by analyzing significant points on a price chart using a sequence of numbers (sequentials). These numbers are calculated based on specific rules concerning the closing prices of an asset across a defined period.

The prediction for Bitcoin’s price increase is based on the recent decrease in Bitcoin miners’ BTC holdings over the past few months. This reduction has brought their reserves to their lowest point since January 2021, a time when Bitcoin’s value skyrocketed from approximately $25,000 to over $69,000 before experiencing a decline.

Due to the recent halving update in April, the total Bitcoin owned by miners has dropped to its lowest point in three years. This decline is because the update reduced the amount of Bitcoin each miner receives for mining a new block by half.

Based on a Bloomberg report utilizing data from Kaiko, miners currently hold approximately 1.5 million Bitcoins, valued at around $86 billion. Since the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant rally towards the end of 2023, miners have been observed selling tokens extensively. The revenues generated from these sales are typically used to support their ongoing operations.

Data from cryptocurrency analytics firm CryptoQuant confirms there has been a severe downtrend in miner reserves, with its data pointing to reserves of around 1.8 million BTC.
