A major milestone has been achieved in the Bitcoin market, with the number of wholecoiners (investors holding at least 1 BTC) surpassing 1 million. This surge in wholecoiners coincides with a notable increase in institutional demand for Bitcoin, driven by its appeal as a store of value and its limited supply. With a fixed supply of only 21 million Bitcoins, the growing interest from both institutional and individual investors is likely contributing to a reduction in available supply, further driving up demand.
Analyst Ali Martinez notes that the TD Sequential indicator on the Bitcoin 1-hour chart is presenting a buy signal, predicting a rebound of one to four hourly candlesticks for BTC. This technical indicator suggests a potential short-term increase in Bitcoin’s price.
