When we look at Bitcoin’s recent price movements, the cryptocurrency’s action right after surpassing the $70,000 mark drew interest. This is because Bitcoin couldn’t hold at this level and suddenly dropped below $69,000. Naturally, everyone was curious about the reasons behind this movement. This action was primarily attributed to profit-taking activities among investors and reflected broader trends in the US stock market. Despite this drop, the overall sentiment surrounding Bitcoin remained bullish, as the BTC price positioned itself above $69,000.
Bitcoin Price Movement
Bitcoin’s price movement stands out as being in line with broader market dynamics. On the other hand, it’s also true that there is a mixed trend in cryptocurrencies. Among the influential factors in this context is the return of renowned stock trader Keith Gill. This situation led to triple-digit increases in some meme-focused stocks and meme-focused cryptocurrencies yesterday.
Additionally, the recent drop in Bitcoin’s price since March is attributed to sales by long-term holders. However, recent data shows that this trend has stopped, and many investors have started accumulating Bitcoin.
CryptoQuant’s on-chain data supports this perspective by revealing that 50% of Bitcoin’s long-term supply has remained inactive. This inactivity, indicating that a significant portion of Bitcoin has not been moved or sold, is interpreted as a strong sign of confidence in the asset’s future. This belief among asset holders strengthens the overall bullish sentiment in the market, potentially leading to further price increases.
BTC Showed Resilience Despite Some Negative News
Despite some negative news in the cryptocurrency space, such as issues related to the Mt. Gox and DMM hacks, Bitcoin’s price showed resilience. Singapore-based trading firm QCP Capital highlighted this persistent rise, noting that the market’s optimism remained intact. This optimism is partly fueled by the anticipation of new spot ETFs for Ethereum (ETH), expected to bring new demand and support the entire cryptocurrency market.
In addition to Bitcoin, other major cryptocurrencies showed varying performances. Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced slight losses, while Cardano‘s ADA and Solana’s SOL saw gains of up to 3%.
Among other notable tokens, the dog-themed FLOKI and Ethena’s synthetic dollar project ENA achieved significant gains, with increases of over 10%.
