Bitcoin (BTC) continues to struggle with breaking the $60,000 threshold, but this has not led to a sell-off among holders.
In fact, many are retaining their assets, as evidenced by a drop in exchange activity.
The daily number of Bitcoin addresses sending funds to exchanges has recently reached a multi-year low. This decline aligns with market expectations surrounding the Federal Reserve’s decision on September 18.
On-chain data reveals a decrease in Exchange Depositing Addresses, a metric tracking Bitcoin inflows to exchanges. This figure peaked for the year on March 5 and has been declining since.
In the past week alone, deposits to exchanges have fallen by 19%. A drop in this metric typically indicates that investors are holding their Bitcoin rather than selling.
This reduced exchange activity comes amid speculation about a potential 50% chance of a 0.5% rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The easing of Bitcoin’s selling pressure suggests investors might be anticipating a more favorable market. This sentiment is also reflected in Bitcoin’s funding rate, which turned positive recently after a week of negative values.
Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision and a prominent macro analyst, believes Bitcoin (BTC) is poised for significant breakout rallies, driven primarily by rising global liquidity.
As Bitcoin continues to strengthen its position in the market, BlackRock, a major financial institution, has released an updated report titled “Bitcoin: A Unique Diversifier.”
Federal Reserve meetings usually follow a predictable pattern, but this week’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) gathering was shrouded in uncertainty.
A well-known crypto analyst believes Bitcoin (BTC) is poised to start a major bull run.
