Short-Term Bitcoin Dumping Indicates Market Reversal
Recent data from CryptoQuant reveals that short-term Bitcoin holders are currently selling at a loss. The Short-Term Holder SOPR metric, reflecting realized profit or loss for coins held between 1 hour and 155 days, has consistently shown values below 1. This suggests that a notable number of short-term investors are experiencing losses. Whales in the market may interpret this as an opportune moment to acquire Bitcoin at a lower price, potentially leading to a market rebound.
Bitcoin’s Exchange Exodus
Following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the US SEC, there has been a consistent outflow of Bitcoin from exchange wallets. This coincides with a decline in Bitcoin’s exchange supply, accompanied by a steady increase in stablecoin reserves over the past five weeks. The rise in USDT reserves is seen as a signal of growing buying power, indicating ongoing momentum in the mid-term bull cycle that began in October. Additionally, with the fourth halving event approaching on April 18, optimism prevails among Bitcoin investors and analysts.
