Despite this robust support, Bitcoin’s spot trading and on-chain transaction volumes have seen a decline. Instead, market interest has shifted towards ETFs and derivatives, which are now dominating the speculative demand for BTC.

Recent reports from Lookonchain have revealed intriguing movements among long-dormant Bitcoin miner addresses. Following Bitcoin’s price surge past $70,000, four miner addresses, inactive for 11 years, transferred a total of 100 BTC (approximately $7 million) out. Each of these addresses earned 25 BTC (about $1.75 million) through mining activities back in 2013.

Last Activity Involves The Transfer Of 100 BTC After Bitcoin Crossed $70,000 Mark

The last significant activity from these miner addresses occurred on March 13, when they similarly moved 100 BTC after Bitcoin breached the $70,000 threshold. These movements suggest a pattern of selling during key price milestones, potentially influencing market dynamics.

As Bitcoin continues to navigate through these price levels, the role of institutional products like ETFs and the behavior of long-term holders, including early miners, will be critical in shaping the market’s future direction. The interplay between spot market activity and the rising prominence of derivative products underscores the evolving landscape of Bitcoin trading and investment.

The ongoing stability of Bitcoin around $69,000, supported by a substantial demand zone, reflects a strong foundational interest. However, the shift towards derivative markets and the strategic moves by long-dormant addresses highlight the complex and multifaceted nature of the current Bitcoin market environment.
