Key Points
- Bitcoin miners’ reserves have increased, possibly indicating a future price hike for the cryptocurrency.
- Despite bearish indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests Bitcoin could gain momentum.
Bitcoin miners, who have a significant influence on the cryptocurrency’s price action, have seen a notable trend. Post the fourth BTC halving, mining rewards dropped, leading to a decrease in mining activity and miners selling Bitcoin. However, this trend appears to be reversing.
Miners Holding On To Bitcoin
CryptoQuant’s analyst, Crypto Dan, noted that the number of bitcoins miners are transferring out of their wallets has been rapidly decreasing. This decrease in selling pressure might set the stage for Bitcoin to regain bullish momentum.
Historically, similar declines in selling pressure from miners were observed in 2023 and 2024. Both instances were followed by significant bull rallies. Hence, with the end of the second quarter of this year, Bitcoin might be on the verge of a bull rally in Q3.
Potential for a Rally?
Julio Moreno, a crypto-analyst, pointed out that Bitcoin’s miner capitulation has reached levels similar to December 2022, which then indicated a market bottom. If history repeats, Bitcoin might flip bullish soon.
Furthermore, an analysis of Glassnode’s data revealed that after a decline, Bitcoin miners’ reserves started to rise, suggesting miners have been buying Bitcoin. CryptoQuant also noted that Bitcoin’s net deposit on exchanges seemed high, indicating an increase in buying pressure.
However, Bitcoin’s price charts were still in the red at the time of writing. The cryptocurrency was down by over 5% in the last seven days, trading at $60,920.48 with a market capitalization of over $1.19 trillion.
Despite the bearish advantage shown by the MACD and a downtick in the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), the Relative Strength Index (RSI) appeared bullish, indicating that Bitcoin might gain momentum in the coming days.
