On-chain data reveals Bitcoin reserves on exchanges are sharply declining while stablecoin reserves rise, suggesting a drop in selling pressure and a surge in potential buying power. Experts believe these trends could trigger the next major Bitcoin bull run.
On-Chain Data Shows Plummeting Bitcoin Reserves
Data from top blockchain analytics company CryptoQuant shows that exchanges' Bitcoin reserves have been decreasing for the last several months. As more investors put their assets in cold storage, they are no longer available for immediate trade, which means that selling pressure is going down.
Exchange reserves of Stablecoin are increasing at the same time. Investors who want to make purchases at the proper time can see their available capital represented by stablecoin balances. It appears that dealers are getting ready to use the increasing volume of crypto-backed cash on exchanges once market conditions are suitable.
CPI Data Expected to Shake Bitcoin Market
Coingape states that today's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is likely to significantly affect the Bitcoin market. Crypto expert Michael van de Poppe has offered his thoughts on the results. The CPI data, he stressed, may cause Bitcoin's price to change dramatically.
Van de Poppe sees today's little decline as a typical adjustment leading up to the release of CPI. He expects Bitcoin to stage a surge if it maintains its value between $55,000 and $56,000 in the days preceding the announcement.
Potential Drop to $49K if CPI Disappoints
Nevertheless, the analyst warns that a more severe drop could be precipitated if the data indicates a gloomy economic forecast. The price of Bitcoin could fall to $53,000 or perhaps $49,000 if this happens.
Experts are predicting that the CPI y/y will rise 2.5% and the CPI m/m will stay flat at 0.2%. This represents a minor decrease from 2.9% last month. Bitcoin, according to Van de Poppe, might make a comeback and go above $60,000 if the CPI numbers line up.
An unbalanced supply and demand situation has emerged as a result of the declining Bitcoin reserves and increasing Stablecoin reserves. There may be an upward trend in the market dynamics as fewer Bitcoin tokens are available for sale and more purchasing power accumulates. In the past, when there was a mismatch between supply and demand, prices would spike.
The price of Bitcoin might potentially hit $100,000 as a result of a number of things coming together. If the Mars-Vesta cycle is any indication, the market will reach its zenith in October 2025.
Meanwhile, the approval and hopeful prognosis of spot Bitcoin ETFs have piqued the interest of institutional investors, who are adding to the strong feeling around Bitcoin. Market volatility could be further impacted by important macroeconomic events, such the expected rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Experts Predict Bitcoin’s Price Could Hit $100K by 2026
Experts predict that Bitcoin might reach $100,000 between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2026, thanks to the cryptocurrency's four-year cycle and past tendencies.
