As a seasoned financial analyst with over a decade of experience in the markets, I have witnessed numerous market cycles and trends. The current trend in Bitcoin’s wallet holders and exchange outflows is a fascinating development that warrants close attention from investors.
Recent data indicates a significant decrease in the number of Bitcoin wallets. This trend suggests that traders are giving up on their hopes that the price of Bitcoin will exceed its previous record high of $73,500 set in March.
Based on information from on-chain analysis company Santiment, there has been a significant decrease in the number of Bitcoin wallets, with approximately 672,510 fewer holders of Bitcoin as of now compared to a month prior.
As an analyst examining the Sentiment data, I’ve observed a consistent pattern: substantial decreases in the number of active wallets historically have been followed by notable price recoveries. This trend indicates that long-term investors regard these episodes of mass sell-offs among smaller holders as promising buying opportunities.
The number of Bitcoin holders, defined as any wallets containing more than zero coins, has been decreasing significantly. It appears that some traders remain convinced that the all-time high in March 2024 was the peak for this cryptocurrency. Massive sell-offs like these often lead to increased chances of a subsequent recovery.

Bitcoins are presently being bought and sold at prices above $67,000, marking a 17% increase over the past week. This surge in value began following the unsuccessful assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, which raised speculation about his potential re-election.
The prices of cryptocurrencies may have surged due to Trump’s growing affinity for the industry throughout his presidential campaign. He recently expressed his intention to back cryptocurrency through his social media platform, Truth Social, last month.
According to a report by CryptoGlobe, a crypto analyst has proposed that the price of Bitcoin may increase due to the current trend of funds withdrawing from cryptocurrency exchanges, resulting in over $7 billion being taken out in just this month.
Historically, the withdrawal of Bitcoin from exchanges has been viewed as a sign of optimism. When investors move their Bitcoin to personal wallets where they hold the private keys, it suggests a desire for more control over their assets and potentially less willingness to sell. With fewer Bitcoins circulating on exchanges, scarcity could push prices up if demand stays the same or increases.
As a researcher studying the Bitcoin market, I’ve noticed another intriguing observation from some analysts. They bring up the decreasing Realized Profit and Loss Ratio. This metric measures market sentiment by examining profits and losses across the Bitcoin market. The current low reading over several months implies that investors who bought at higher prices have likely sold off their holdings. This might indicate a reduced likelihood of significant selling pressure in the near term, suggesting a potential stabilization or even recovery in the market.
