Bitcoin has been trading in a sideways trend over the past week, but some indicators that could herald a significant change are starting to appear. Data from blockchain analytical service CryptoQuant indicates that the percentage of Short-Term Holders (STHs) – investors who have owned BTC for six months or less – has fallen from 55% to 40% over the past three months. This change indicates that the short-term investors’ reactions to prices may pick up in the coming weeks.
The referral platform selected $62,700 as the marker of interest for these investors. A move above $63K could open the door to a short-term bull trend especially if backed by good trading volumes. This level is a break or fall point that could determine the future movement of cryptocurrecny.
Bitcoin Bullish Outlook
Crypto Rover recently posted a similar view on a YouTube video where he called the recent market pullback as a possible ‘bear trap’. He pointed out that the price of BTC has been making higher lows, which may be a sign of a new uptrend. The BTC price is again hitting $62,500 resistance which coincides with the CME gap, an area in the price chart that is usually filled after the market closes.
