Investors don’t sell Bitcoin
However, despite the bearish price action, investors seemed confident in the coin, as evidenced by their reluctance to sell. Similarly, Willy Woo, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted a tweet highlighting an important metric.

He used BTC’s SORP, which tracks the profit of coins when they are sold to new investors. According to his analysis, BTCs investors seemed to be waiting for higher prices, as evidenced by their reluctance to sell.
To check whether investors are holding on to their stocks, AMBCrypto examined other metrics.
According to our analysis, Bitcoin’s supply on exchanges and supply off exchanges were closely linked, meaning there wasn’t much selling or buying pressure at the time of the report.
Bitcoin’s rate also dropped, meaning fewer coins were transferred within a fixed time frame.

Will Investor Confidence Reflect in BTC’s Chart Soon?
AMBCrypto’s look at BTC liquidation levels revealed that the coin has not seen a massive sell-off below its current value in the recent past. The possibility of a trend reversal cannot therefore yet be ruled out.
If it manages to gain bullish momentum, Bitcoin will face strong resistance around $43,600.

Another positive metric was Bitcoin’s Fear and Greed Index. According to Glassnode’s graph: BTC‘s Fear and Green Index fell and had a value of 67 at the time of writing.
