BTC prepares for long-term growth as buyer activity increases

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to show strong bullish signals as market participants position themselves for a potential long-term rally.

The Exchange Reserve, which tracks the amount of BTC available on exchanges, has sharply declined. Only 2.516 million BTC remain on exchanges, following a 0.72% drop in the past 24 hours and a cumulative decrease of 2.63% in the last 7 days.

This reduced supply suggests increasing demand, a trend often linked to upward price momentum.

The Exchange Netflow supports this outlook, recording a significant drop of 87.02% over the past day. More than 15,000 BTC were moved from exchanges to private wallets, signaling a preference for holding rather than trading.

Negative netflows—where outflows exceed inflows—typically indicate that investors are preparing for long-term price appreciation.

Adding further confidence is the Fund Market Premium, which has stayed positive, with a current reading of 0.13074 after crossing above the zero mark the previous day.

This metric, which measures the gap between a fund’s market price and its net asset value (NAV), is commonly used for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and closed-end funds like Grayscale.

A positive premium highlights strong investor demand and reinforces the bullish sentiment.
