CryptoQuant, a prominent cryptocurrency analysis firm, has reported that Bitcoin reserves on exchanges have fallen to their lowest levels of the year.
This sharp decrease in reserves may suggest that the selling pressure on Bitcoin is subsiding, potentially setting the stage for a bullish trend if demand for the cryptocurrency continues to grow.
The reduction in Bitcoin held on exchanges is attributed to a rise in self-custody, where investors opt to store their assets independently rather than on centralized platforms.
This shift decreases the amount of Bitcoin available for immediate trading, thereby lowering liquidity on exchanges.
CryptoQuant also highlights that Bitcoin moving into cold storage, where assets are kept offline, usually signals that investors are holding onto their assets for the long term in anticipation of future price increases.
As more Bitcoin transitions to cold storage, long-term investors may become more influential in the market, potentially leading to greater market stability and reduced risk of large-scale sell-offs.
Altcoins may be heading for deeper losses against Bitcoin, according to crypto market analyst Benjamin Cowen, who sees no signs of reversal in the broader trend.
