Bitcoin surged to $58,000 today, sparking renewed optimism among retail traders. Wallets holding less than 1 BTC now account for their largest share of the supply in seven months, signaling growing interest from smaller investors.
However, for Bitcoin to return to its all-time highs, analysts suggest a different ownership pattern is needed.

For a sustained rally, the ideal scenario would involve a decrease in wallets holding less than 1 BTC, steady growth among those holding 1 to 100 BTC, and aggressive accumulation by holders of 100+ BTC. These shifts would indicate increased confidence from more substantial investors, signaling a more robust market outlook.
Meanwhile, the Bitcoin mining sector is becoming more competitive, with the networkâs hash rate nearing new all-time highs. Minersâ faith in the Bitcoin network remains strong, but the short-term outlook is uncertain.
