The Bitcoin Situation May Improve in 6 to 12 Months
Oct 04, 2024 at 11:29 pm
The price of Bitcoin has gone through some notable corrections since March. This has been influenced by a combination of significant sell-offs by whales and a massive token unlock that has increased the total supply of altcoins in the market.
Bitcoin’s price has undergone some interesting corrections since March, influenced heavily by significant sell-offs from whales and a massive token unlock, which increased the total supply of altcoins in the market.
A recent report by 10x Research highlights these factors, countering the positive flows from stablecoins and Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as the growing use of leverage in futures contracts. While it’s unfortunate that early token holders’ sales have kept prices stagnant since March, the future outlook seems to be setting up for a potential rally.
Today's report covers the reasons behind the sell-off that started in March and why, despite strong inflows from stablecoins, Bitcoin ETFs, and a rise in futures leverage, Bitcoin hasn't rallied. The main factors are heavy selling by Whales and the large token unlocks, which have …

Bitcoin’s price may rise in 6 to 12 months
The report also notes that a potential increase in U.S. economic growth and interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve due to decreasing inflation and strong corporate profits could positively impact Bitcoin’s price over a six to twelve-month period. This may lead to a rally in the cryptocurrency despite the current corrections.
Throughout the year, whale sell-offs have been a critical factor in Bitcoin’s performance. Those holding more than 1,000 BTC notably influenced the market, especially between April and August. The activity of these large investors indicated an intention to sell, which contributed to BTC’s inability to gain upward momentum.
At the same time, the unlocking of tokens amplified the selling pressure, with around $35 billion in tokens unlocked since March. In October, $3.9 billion in unlocks were recorded, a sharp increase from $1.9 billion in September.
Future risks and factors to watch
Despite the selling pressure from large transactions and the increase in token supply, institutional flows, which include investments in ETFs, stablecoins, and futures markets, helped stabilize the market. These flows, although neutralized by selling, prevented more abrupt price declines.
However, the macroeconomic environment, marked by uncertainty about employment in the U.S., influenced market volatility, indicating that as the institutional flows continue, they will play a key role in the dynamics of the crypto market.
