Is buying pressure rising?
Since the above-mentioned indicator suggested that there was a buying opportunity, AMBCrypto checked BTC’s metrics to find whether investors were actively buying the coin.
Our analysis of Santiment’s data revealed that BTC’s supply on exchanges increased sharply while its supply outside of exchanges dropped. This clearly meant that selling pressure increased.
The fact that investors were selling BTC was further proven by the spike in its exchange outflow.

However, unlike retail investors, miners considered holding their BTC. Our look at CryptoQuant’s
data revealed that BTC’s Miners’ Position Index (MPI) was green, meaning that miners were selling less holdings compared to its one-year average.It was interesting to note that while miners were HODLing, their revenue dropped. This, in the coming days, could trigger a trend reversal and force miners to sell BTC.
