CoinDesk senior analyst James Van Straten highlighted that around $8 billion of Bitcoin moved to exchanges recently, suggesting that the market might be nearing its bottom.
“In notional terms, this is the highest on record. When this cohort typically sends $2 billion or more in tokens to exchanges at a loss, it’s signaled a local bottom,” Van Straten said, adding that the behavior coincides with the conclusion of bear market cycles.
Van Straten also noted that exchange inflows have historically marked moments when selling pressure peaks, paving the way for a price rebound.
The increased exchange activity may indicate that traders are capitalizing on the recent volatility, either locking in profits or entering new positions in anticipation of a potential bull market.
Trump's Treasury Pick May Boost Bitcoin? While Bitcoin price enjoyed a relative uptick on Wednesday, traders also kept an eye on the broader market developments that could influence crypto prices in the long term.
One such development is President-elect Donald Trump's recent nomination of hedge fund manager Scott Bessent for the role of Treasury Secretary.
Known for his pro-crypto stance, Bessent's nomination stands in contrast to the Biden administration's approach under former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen.
If confirmed, Bessent's policies could introduce greater clarity on crypto regulations, potentially facilitating the entry of Bitcoin and other digital assets into the mainstream financial landscape.
