Key Bitcoin Metric Is Most Bullish In 4 Years

The Lede
At 60.63%, the percentage of bitcoin that haven’t moved in more than a year is the highest it’s been in 4 years.
So, why is this bullish?
It means that investors are consolidating, and that even those who bought at the cycle bottom in 2018 have been unwilling to sell and take profits. This suggests confidence in the market to reach further heights.
Here’s what Dhruv Bansal, co-founder and CSO of Unchained Capital, had to say:
investors “who bought bitcoin on the way down from $6,000 to $3,000 in 2018 are still holding it despite the tremendous gains since then and the recent economic turbulence.”
