Bitcoin (BTC) Breaks Free from Selling Pressure – Uptrend Ahead?

 


Bitcoin ( BTC ) could be at the beginning of a new upward trend again, because the selling pressure on the market-leading cryptocurrency is easing noticeably.


At least one expert comes to this conclusion considering the BTC that as of July 2022 have not been moved for a year or more.


Is the downtrend finally over?

Accordingly, crypto analyst Miles Johal writes on July 29 that Bitcoin’s HODL chart shows a “rounded ceiling” (see below), which is currently being completed.


Once this process is complete, bitcoin price should bounce back as it has historically.


The key figure from which this hope is fed are the so-called HODL waves, which look at the amount of Bitcoin in circulation based on when the individual currency units were last moved. The 1-year HODL wave — those BTC that were last sold a year or more ago — is making up the vast majority right now .


In the accompanying chart, Johal depicts that the larger the proportion of circulating volume that hasn't been moved for at least a year, the closer the market-leading cryptocurrency is to a bottom, or local bottom.


More importantly, the year-long HODL wave seems to be completing its ceiling, suggesting that the selling pressure on bitcoin price is easing and a new long-term uptrend may be about to begin.


If the "rounded ceiling" is completed in the next few days, crypto investors can hope that after heavy losses, things will soon go back to new heights.


Crypto analyst Johal says that while HODL waves have received little attention, they may reassert themselves as a game-changing indicator for the crypto market leader.


As little BTC on crypto exchanges as in 2018

More data from Glassnode supports the notion that bitcoin selling pressure is slowly easing as recently there has been less and less BTC on crypto trading platforms.


The BTC in the wallets of the major exchanges currently only accounts for 12.6% of the volume in circulation, which corresponds to an outflow of 4.6% since the big crash in March 2020.



In Bitcoin terms, this means a drop from 3.15 million BTC in March 2020 to just 2.4 million BTC in July 2022. This is also the lowest value since July 2018.

Earlier this month, Cointelegraph reported that more and more bitcoin was leaking from major trading platforms.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
