Bitcoin Hits $58K As Retail Sentiment Improves, But Larger Holders Are Key To Sustained Rally

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 network’s hash rate nearing new all-time highs. Miners’ faith in the Bitcoin network remains strong, but the short-term outlook is uncertain.

On-chain exchange volumes have slowed, and despite Bitcoin’s decoupling from gold as investors move to a risk-off approach, sentiment remains bearish.

Bitcoin Miners Sells Off Their Holdings 

In the past 72 hours, miners have sold over 30,000 BTC, worth around $1.71 billion, reflecting cautious sentiment among this crucial group of market participants.

However, the growing use of leverage in Bitcoin derivatives suggests that some investors are positioning for a potential price rebound.

Signs of bullish momentum are also emerging as Bitcoin reserves on exchanges dwindle, while stablecoin reserves rise, indicating a buildup of buying power.

Additionally, yesterday saw the largest net Bitcoin outflow from exchanges since May, with a $750 million outflow, signaling significant accumulation.

Spot ETFs are also seeing renewed interest, with a net inflow of $117 million on September 10. Grayscale’s mini Bitcoin ETF saw a $41.128 million inflow, while Fidelity’s FBTC attracted $63.156 million, pointing to increasing institutional demand.
