Part One: Bitcoin Miner Selling Pressure Drops to Lowest Level Since 2024 - Market Preparing for a New High?
1. Miner Behavior Shift: From Selling to Holding
According to the latest data from crypto analysis platform Alphractal, the Bitcoin miner selling pressure indicator (measuring the ratio of miner outflows to reserves over 30 days) has fallen below the lower rail, reaching the lowest level since 2024. This phenomenon indicates that miners are shifting from the past strategy of "selling to cover operating costs" to strategic accumulation.
This contrasts sharply with the miners' income being halved after the 2024 halving (when daily selling volume increased from 900 to 1,200 coins), but the current market environment is driving miners to adjust their strategies:
Profit Expectations Driving Accumulation: With Bitcoin's price recently breaking $10,000 and approaching historical highs, miners are more inclined to hold Bitcoin to await higher returns rather than short-term cash-out.
Structural Industry Optimization: The scaled development of mining by listed companies (such as Bitfarms, CleanSpark) reduces the exit risk of inefficient miners, and increased industry concentration alleviates selling pressure.
Learning from Historical Experience: In past cycles, over-leveraging and long-term holding by miners led to liquidity crises (like the 2018 bear market), so now they focus more on short-term financial stability.
