What’s new? According to experts at analytics firm Santiment, the number of long-term holders of bitcoin is on the rise, which may indicate the beginning of a bull market. A similar trend was observed from January to April 2021, when the BTC rate rose above $64 000 for the first time. In addition, in November of the same year, the asset reached its all-time high (ATH) of $69 000. As of April 10, 13:45 UTC, bitcoin is trading at $28 243, having gained 1,17% in 24 hours, according to Binance.

What else did analysts report? Despite an increase in the number of long-term investors, Santiment is concerned that the asset has fallen below $28 000, as well as its low trading speed. As of April 9, for example, 105 000 unique BTC were moving per day, down 56% from the annual peak in June 2022. Experts stressed that the asset’s rising usefulness would allow for a confident prediction of a bull trend in the medium to long term.

From January 15 to March 15, the total number of bitcoin addresses increased by 3,95%, to 45,14 million, according to Santiment.

Santiment recorded a surge of bullish sentiment in the crypto market between March 27 and 29. In their view, the rise in optimistic predictions among traders was caused by the community’s premature joy at bitcoin’s possible achievement of the $30 000 mark.
