• BTC surged briefly to the $72,000 price range.

Bitcoin investors demand more

More Bitcoin holders send holdings to exchanges

Despite the noticeable increase in Bitcoin accumulation by investors, some traders have opted to capitalize on profits.

When AMBCrypto took a closer look at Bitcoin’s exchange flow chart, we noticed that the current week showed greater inflows than outflows.

Particularly, on the 11th of March, during a significant price surge, the dominance of inflow was evident, with over 5,000 BTC entering exchanges.

This prevalence of inflow implied that holders were depositing more Bitcoin onto exchanges than withdrawing, indicating a potential sell-off.

This development was not unexpected, considering the recent substantial rise in Bitcoin’s price.

BTC moving to new ATH

AMBCrypto’s examination of Bitcoin’s daily timeframe chart showed that it concluded trading on the 11th of March at around $71,401.

During that trading session, BTC’s price briefly surpassed $72,000 before experiencing a decline. This marked the first time in its history that it reached that price range, even if only momentarily.
