Traders predict renewed bullish momentum for Bitcoin BTC/USD, as long-term holders continue to accumulate.
What Happened: In a series of tweets, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez highlighted what is currently driving the price of Bitcoin:
- He noted that while most traders got liquidated during the recent drop to $49,000, many long-term holders continued buying. The buyers added more than 184,500 BTC, worth almost $10 billion.
- Martinez also noted that the crypto market is back in an extreme fear zone, which, in his opinion, is a prime opportunity to buy Bitcoin.
- He sees BTC heading to $60,000.
However, another Bitcoin influencer sees Bitcoin retesting the $45,000 support area and believes this to be the key high-time-frame support level for maintaining long-term bullish bias.

Why It Matters: IntoTheBlock data shows large transaction volume decreased by 3% and daily active addresses fell by 1.5%. Exchange netflows skyrocketed 783,141.9% in a single day. Despite significant price volatility, 82% of Bitcoin holders are currently in profit. 5% remain at breakeven.
Binance partner Ted Pillows highlighted that Bitcoin has recently retested the 365-day moving average like it did in 2021. When this happened the last time, BTC prices surged 115% in only four months. The expert remains curious if this will happen again.
