• Social media mentions of $100,000 Bitcoin have also reached an all-time high.

Bitcoins [BTC] A rally to a six-figure valuation is just a fraction away, and the rally could be further fueled by significant exchange rate pullbacks.

According to a renowned analyst tweetAbout 65,000 BTC, worth $6.37 billion, have been withdrawn from reserve exchanges.

Historically, such significant outflows imply that holders are transferring assets to cold wallets, indicating reduced selling pressure.

Stock market tightness often precedes bullish price action, as lower availability promotes upward price momentum.
