In the last two days, Bitcoin bulls have taken control following nearly a month-long consolidation since the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF. The price of Bitcoin has gained 3.5% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $46,063 with a market value of $903 billion.
Bitcoin’s Price Increase
The strong rise in Bitcoin’s price may also be related to a significant withdrawal of BTC from exchanges over the last two weeks. During this period, 25,305 Bitcoins worth $1.1 billion were withdrawn from exchanges. The significant aspect is that the lowest Bitcoin ratio on exchanges since December 2017 may indicate a trend of decreasing Bitcoin assets on trading platforms. This trend could signal a change in investor behavior, potentially indicating a preference for long-term holding strategies.
According to Santiment data, currently only 5.3% of the total BTC supply is held on exchanges. Meanwhile, Bitcoin whale accumulation has been on the rise for the past two weeks. Moreover, Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market has shown a significant increase, overshadowing altcoins and pushing its market value up to $45.5k today. Renowned cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez provided insights into the current price dynamics of Bitcoin, pointing out significant support and resistance levels for the cryptocurrency.
Key Resistance in BTC
According to Martinez, Bitcoin’s recent activity has established an important support level at $42,560, with approximately 1.02 million BTC being traded at this price range. Maintaining this support could be very important in determining the future direction of Bitcoin. In contrast, Martinez highlights the key resistance levels at $47,360 and $56,970, signaling potential obstacles on Bitcoin’s upward path. Martinez also drew attention to the super trend indicator on Bitcoin’s monthly chart, which recently signaled a buy.
This mentioned metric has gained fame for its accuracy in predicting BTC bull markets, and past buy signals have led to significant gains. Ali Martinez notes that all four buy signals issued by the super trend indicator since the inception of Bitcoin have been confirmed, leading to substantial gains ranging from 828% to 169,172%. Another important indicator is that approximately 70% of Bitcoin holders have not moved their cryptocurrencies in the past year.
