Bitcoin finally seems to be catching its breath after difficult weeks. Certainly, the path to a lasting recovery remains strewn with pitfalls, but recent indicators are rather encouraging. A welcome respite which could pave the way for new bullish momentum, provided however that demand for the flagship crypto eventually follows suit.
Bitcoin: Calm returns to the sales front!
According to the latest data, Bitcoin balances on over-the-counter offices have stabilized since the end of April 2024. A positive signal which reflects a less abundant supply, emanating from institutional players and large investors. In addition, profit margins for short-term traders are now low, even negative after the peak in early March. Historically, this type of configuration has often preceded the formation of bottoms on prices.
Moreover, bitcoin miners also seem to be going through a difficult time, with extremely low levels of profitability, comparable to those observed during the stock market crash linked to Covid in March 2020. A difficult situation which has often constituted a bearish signal by the pass.
Demand, the key to the rebound
Because if the slowing down of selling pressure brings a wind of optimism, it alone cannot be enough to ensure a proper recovery. To hope to definitively convert the bullish test, Bitcoin will need tangible signals of a real recovery in demand from investors.
For now, it simply seems to be stabilizing after a difficult month of April. If long-term holders and whales have indeed strengthened their positions in recent weeks, a real revival of appetite still seems to be missing.
Analysts thus point to the need for a new wave of purchases substantial on Bitcoin index funds (ETFs), products favored by a growing segment of institutional investors. A first step which, coupled with the growth already observed in stablecoin liquidity, could well give a decisive boost to the emerging upward trend.
For now, however, the status quo seems to exist between buyers and sellers on the crypto market. A fragile balance that only a sustainable influx of new capital could definitively tip towards the upward side for Bitcoin.
