The post BTC Price Eyes Upside as Bitcoin Scarcity Index Jumps for First Time Since June appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The BTC price is drawing attention after the Bitcoin Scarcity Index on Binance has once again recorded its first spike since June, which strongly suggests renewed buying pressure.
With BTC price today hovering near $114855, the sudden shift in scarcity has raised questions about whether a fresh accumulation phase could be underway that could send BTC higher from the current price.
Scarcity Spike Signals Renewed Buying Pressure In Bitcoin Price
The most recent update comes from tracking an onchain metric “Bitcoin Scarcity Index“. This tracks the balance between immediate buying power and the available supply on exchanges.
When the index rises sharply, it typically signals that either sell orders have declined or large investors are withdrawing Bitcoin from the platform.
This week’s jump suggests that demand has suddenly exceeded supply, which gives a hint at the entry of whales and institutions.
Notably, a similar spike last June preceded a strong rally that pushed the Bitcoin price chart toward the $124,000 region.
That said, if the current move sustains over several days, it could reflect the start of another accumulation phase.

Institutional Accumulation Strengthens Bullish Case
Adding weight to the bullish narrative, Michael Saylor’s disclosure revealed today that 525 BTC were recently acquired by “Strategy” for approximately $60.2 million at an average price of $114,562 per Bitcoin.
This purchase brought total holdings to 638,985 BTC, acquired for about $47.23 billion at an average price of $73,913 per coin, he said.
Such large-scale accumulation highlights growing institutional confidence aligning with CryptoQuant analysis and signals that significant players still view Bitcoin crypto as a long-term store of value.
Divergence Pattern Points to Macro Continuation
Amid the scarcity shift, the Bitcoin price USD also triggered a hidden weekly bullish divergence on its technical chart.
This signals underlying strength in the broader trend. It suggests that while short-term sentiment may appear mixed, the macro cycle still leans toward continuation of the bullish trend.
Historically, Bitcoin has shown similar setups before significant rallies. If the divergence plays out, the BTC price forecast suggests that it could lean bullish heading into the final quarter of the year.
Cyclical Patterns Hint at Strong Fourth Quarter
Meanwhile, a separate analysis comparing historical market cycles noted that Bitcoin rallied 72% from October to December last year.
Applying that same pattern to 2025 price action implies the possibility of BTC reaching near $200,000 before year-end if the rally repeats.
$BTC chart honestly looks bad if you ignore the macro cycle.
Last year Oct–Dec = +72%.
Run that back in 2025 → ~$200K BTC before Christmas.
