What’s really interesting about this whole sequence of events is that we highlighted a suspicious rise in the number of Bitcoin addresses with more than 100 BTC in the balance early on Monday. We also outlined similarities to previous situations in April 2023 and June 2023 when we saw very nearly identical activities among Bitcoin addresses (with medium-sized and large-sized addresses seemingly pushing the price aggressively higher in very short time intervals, and later, once the price reached a new high, unloading to retail). Only a few hours after publishing our article, fake news broke out, and we saw an abrupt jump in the price of Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies. Many people called the recent events a run to safe-haven assets (which we arguably can identify Bitcoin as well in certain situations; for example, like in March 2023, when the implosion of regional banks caused commercial deposit outflows and subsequent rise in the price of crypto). That would be yet another sign of Bitcoin slowly maturing as the asset class it was designed to be. However, as positive as that is, we want to remind our audience that this “run to safe-haven” behavior was also observable in gold at the end of 2021, after the market started to fall. But then, at some point, this safe-haven function turned into selling gold for profit to cover losses elsewhere. We think there is a high chance we will see the same thing if the stock market continues to sell off and severe panic sets in. As a result, we consider it proper to wait a bit longer before taking action. Illustration 1.01 The picture above displays the daily chart of BTC.D (Bitcoin’s dominance).
