A leading cryptocurrency analysis firm reports that a significant portion of Bitcoin 
$104,149 holders rapidly sold their BTC. This trend raises concerns about market stability and future price movements.
Major Sales from Miners
Santiment announced on social media platform X that Bitcoin miners sold BTC worth $8.55 billion in just two days, marking the largest sale in the past ten months. The firm noted that Bitcoin currently moves in parallel with the S&P 500, suggesting that a break in this correlation could be favorable for BTC. Miners have consistently seized sales opportunities at satisfying profit levels over the years. However, mining companies must maintain strong cash reserves to continue operations, which compels them to retain some BTC.
Investor Strategies
Santiment observed that while miners sell BTC, other large investor groups are filling this gap. “Collective mining balances of Bitcoin have dropped since April 2024. However, a drop of 85,503 BTC in the last 48 hours is the most extreme since February. These wallets have not correlated with price throughout the year. Non-miner whales and sharks continue to accumulate. Consider this situation a net neutral signal for now,” they stated.
The analysis firm added that wallets have shown no correlation with Bitcoin’s price throughout the year, emphasizing that large investors outside of mining are accumulating. They indicated that, for the time being, this situation represents a net neutral signal.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $99,056. Santiment urged investors to pay attention to the relationship between cryptocurrency and equities, noting that a weakening of this correlation could favor BTC in the long run. Historically, cryptocurrencies perform well in periods of reduced dependency on global stock markets.
The significant sales by Bitcoin miners exert pressure on the market, while other large investors attempt to balance these sales. A weakening correlation of BTC with the S&P 500 emits positive signals for the cryptocurrency.
