“The majority of Bitcoin investors are holding unrealized gains, and volatility is likely to return after two months of sideways trading,” Glassnode said in its weekly report on June 4 (local time). “Currently, only 0.03% of long-term holding addresses are in a loss position, which is typical of the initial euphoric phase of a bull market. The sideways movement over the past two months has re-initialized sell side risk and we expect to see significant volatility in the near term.”
Meanwhile, data from on-chain data analytics firm LookOnChain revealed that four miner addresses that had been dormant for 11 years since 2013 saw 100 BTC transfers worth nearly $7 million on March 3 (local time). According to LookOnChain, the miner addresses received 25 BTC each in 2013 as a reward for mining Bitcoin. “What's noteworthy is the timing of these miner addresses' awakening from long-term dormancy. They made a move to transfer 100 BTC on March 13, when BTC first broke $70,000. It could be a coincidence, but once again, when BTC reclaimed $70,000, these addresses were caught transferring 100 BTC out of the system.”
