Key on-chain metric shows Bitcoin miners in ‘massive’ BTC accumulation mode

Data shows lost and held Bitcoin hitting a one-year high, while miners opened the year by accumulating “massive” amounts of BTC.

New data shows that Bitcoin (BTC) miners are hoarding more coins than at any time in the past five months, which could be a fresh signal that the current prices are not for selling.

Analyzing its miner net position change indicator on Jan. 11, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode revealed what popular Twitter account Bitcoin Archive described as "massive" accumulation by miners.

Miners show no desire to sell

Bitcoin price may be disappointing spot traders this year, but long-time market participants are anything but concerned.

In addition to strong hands or seasoned hodlers, miners are now no exception, increasing their BTC holdings considerably in the first two weeks of 2022.

The past five days have each seen more than 5,000 BTC per day land on miners' books, with accumulation in fact ongoing since before November's $69,000 all-time highs.

Further data from fellow on-chain analytics service CryptoQuant spotlighted the extent to which miners have regained their BTC real estate since May's China upheaval.

Total BTC reserves were 1.859 million BTC as of Monday, the most since a marked reduction at the end of 2020 after BTC/USD passed its previous all-time highs from 2017.

Hodling the hardest since last January

Returning to strong hands, the proportion of the Bitcoin supply deemed either lost or ferreted away by long-term investors hit a one-year high this week.

Underscoring the conviction of hodlers, 7.27 million BTC is now off the market — possibly forever.

The metric also saw a bottom over the summer thanks to the price disruption wrought by China's ban on mining.

By contrast, Glassnode shows, an accumulation trend has been accelerating since $69,000.

Bitcoin breaking new highs in Q4 will ‘temporarily turn alts to dust’ — Analyst

Things will get exciting in quarter four, but not before a convincing floor is put in across crypto, analysts say this week. Bitcoin ( BTC ) was busy losing its overnight gains on Sept. 27 as resistance continued to prove too much for bulls.  BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Bitstamp). Source: TradingView Analyst on Bitcoin: “Right now, we’re stuck” Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView  showed BTC/USD dropping to around $1,000 below overnight highs of $44,400 on Bitstamp on Sept. 27.  The move constitutes a rejection at a “critical” zone to break, Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe explained, with $42,000 now the key level to hold for a higher low. Bitcoin is acting in an increasingly narrow range, he summarized in his latest YouTube update. “Right now, we’re stuck,” he said, pointing to $47,000 as next should the $44,600 zone be reclaimed. On the downside, the zone between $38,000 and $40,000 remains valid for a bounce, while a co...
