- Statistics and market indicators looked bearish on the coin.
After crossing the $69,000 mark, Bitcoin [BTC] has fallen below that level again. While this may seem worrying at first, the latest data revealed that now may be the right time to accumulate BTC.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s going on with the king of cryptos.
Bitcoin’s dilemma
BTC gained bullish momentum when it surpassed $69,000 on July 27. This gave investors hope that BTC would touch $70,000 again.
However, that didn’t happen as the bears took control and pushed the price of the coin down in the following hours. According to CoinMarketCapAt the time of writing, BTC was trading at $67,481.86 with a market cap of over $1.33 trillion.

Is purchasing pressure increasing?
Since the aforementioned indicator suggested there was a buying opportunity, AMBCrypto checked BTC’s statistics to see if investors were actively buying the coin.
Our analysis of Santiment’s data showed that BTC supply on exchanges increased sharply, while off-exchange supply decreased. This clearly meant that selling pressure increased.
The fact that investors were selling BTC was further evidenced by the spike in currency outflows.

However, unlike retail investors, miners considered holding their BTC. Our look at CryptoQuant’s facts revealed that BTC’s Miners’ Position Index (MPI) was green, meaning miners sold fewer assets compared to the annual average.
It was interesting to note that while miners were HODLing, their income dropped. This could cause a trend reversal in the coming days and force miners to sell BTC.
