Balashevich explains that a declining MDIA signals increased market activity and optimism, with newer coins entering circulation. Conversely, a rising MDIA may indicate accumulation but could lead to market stagnation if new buying pressure doesn\u2019t follow.<\/p>\n<p>According to Santiment, the current market environment suggests strong accumulation. While this could pave the way for a long-term upward trend, Balashevich warns that it might also trigger short-term volatility if investor optimism isn\u2019t matched by sustained demand.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/what-do-bitcoin-funding-rates-reveal-about-the-recent-drop\/\" title=\"What Do Bitcoin Funding Rates Reveal About the Recent Drop\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bitcoin-btc-1r-1-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">What Do Bitcoin Funding Rates Reveal About the Recent Drop<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Historical patterns add further context.
