Positive Market Trends Support Analyst’s Forecast
According to data from Glassnode, the significant uptick in BTC’s value can be attributed to a noteworthy reduction in Bitcoin holdings on exchanges, with 25,305 BTC (equivalent to $1.1 billion) being withdrawn in the last two weeks. This activity has led to the smallest proportion of BTC on exchanges, indicating a trend among traders toward adopting long-term investment strategies.
