Virtual currency market conditions

In the crypto asset (virtual currency) market, the Bitcoin price fell 1.03% from the previous day to 1 BTC = $ 37,348.

It briefly topped $38,000 over the weekend.

Major alto prices also generally fell. In the game-related market, STEPN (GMT), which had been soaring ahead of the alpha version test of BCG’s new GasHero, fell in reaction, while Axie Infinity (AXS) rose 19.4% from the previous day, and investors continued to look around.

According to recent data from Glassnode, due to the recent market rise, more than 16.36 million BTC, or 83.6%, of the total supply of Bitcoin (BTC) circulating in the market has become an unrealized gain.

This is the first time that Bitcoin has reached the same level since November 2021, when it was approved as the first Bitcoin futures ETF (exchange traded fund) in the US and hit a record high of $69,000 per BTC. This is well above the historical average (74%) and historically coincides with the early stages of a bull market.

Additionally, the Accumulation Trend Score, an on-chain indicator that tracks wallet balances, highlighted a trend in net inflows compared to the beginning of the year, when net outflows were noticeable.

Regarding this point, Glassnode pointed out that “obvious changes have occurred since late October 2023.” It is said that investors of all wallet sizes, not just whales (large investors), are attempting to significantly increase their holdings.

The background to this is the ever-increasing expectation that the US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) will approve the listing of Bitcoin spot ETFs (exchange traded funds).

If both Bitcoin’s market price and accumulation trend score rise, it suggests that large investors are buying, and positive price fluctuations are likely to be maintained. (Green) On the other hand, when the ratio cools, retail investors are unable to maintain their holding behavior, and the price tends to level off, eventually losing momentum. (red)

A high score during a major correction suggests that large investors are starting to stock up and the bottom is near.
