Recent data from cryptocurrency analytics firm Santiment reveals that Bitcoin (BTC) is trading just above $66,100, demonstrating resilience even as small investors offload their tokens. This trend of smaller wallets moving their BTC to larger ones has historically signaled a bullish outlook for the cryptocurrency.
What Does the Data Indicate?
In the past week, nearly 182,200 small investors, each holding less than 0.1 BTC, liquidated their positions. Historically, such patterns where smaller investors sell off their tokens typically lead to significant price increases, as larger, more experienced investors tend to accumulate these funds, indicating strong market confidence.
Santiment’s analytics show a notable decrease in the number of non-empty BTC wallets, marking the steepest drop since the all-time high period of March 14. This includes a 0.46% reduction in assets held by wallets containing less than 0.1 BTC. The first three weeks of May saw Bitcoin surge from $65,000 to $67,168, an 18.8% increase, underlining its strong market position.
Will Bitcoin Overcome Resistance?
Despite some weekend uncertainties, Bitcoin has maintained its position above $66,000, showing a 1.5% intraday gain. CoinMarketCap data indicates a market capitalization of $1.324 trillion, with a 24% increase in trading volume, reaching $22.8 billion. If the bullish trend continues, Bitcoin could surpass the $67,600 resistance level, potentially rising to the previous high of $74,000. However, if resistance holds, a drop to around $60,000 could occur.
Key Insights for Investors
– Small investor capitulations often precede significant price increases.
