What will happen to Bitcoin in August

From the second to July 22, the reserve of Bitcoin miners increased steadily when on July 14 the coin reached a new historical maximum of $ 122,054.

At that time, miners believed in the growth of bitcoin and kept profit, waiting for the increase in prices. However, since then, BTC has not been able to enter a stable upward trend. In response, miners began to sell their reserves to fix profit, which creates new challenges for BTC in August.

Bitcoin major sell accumulations

When the cost of BTC began to grow at the beginning of the month, miners began to accumulate the coin more actively, which affects the growth of their reserves. According to Cryptoquant, this indicator from the first to July 22 increased by 0.05% and reached a peak of 1,808 million coins.

The metric of the reserve of miners shows the total amount of BTC in wallets associated with mining organizations. The growth of the reserve signals that miners hold their coins, expecting a price increase.

After the BTC rally before the peak on July 14 and subsequent consolidation, bull sentiments among the miners began to weaken. According to Cryptoquant, from July 22, the reserves of miners began to decline, which indicates a fixation of profit or reducing confidence in the short -term increase in BTC prices.

Miners control a significant part of the new BTC offer, so their behavior can affect the price. The decrease in reserves threatens to increase the pressure on the sale and increase the risk of BTC price correction in August.

Institutionals balance the BTC market

In an interview with Abdul Rafai Gadit, the co -founder and financial director of Zignaly, noted that the recent growth of miner reserves in early July was “probably a short -term pause, and not the beginning of aggressive accumulation”.

“The growth of miner reserves suggests that they prefer to hold their BTC, probably waiting for stronger market signals or more favorable prices. This does not reflect large -scale accumulation; Rather, this is a strategic slowdown in sales. If the price of bitcoin stabilizes or begins to grow, we can see a gradual resumption of accumulation, but now this is more about maintaining capital than about bold rates, ”he told Beincrypto.

When he was asked about the influence of the activity of miners and institutional demand on the pricing dynamics of BTC and what to expect, Gatit noted:

“Institutional demand is the basis of the current price structure of bitcoin. Capital tributaries in ETF, especially controlled by BlackRock, Fidelity and ARK, create constant demand, which maintains prices more efficiently than a reduction in miner sales. ”

He added:

“Although the behavior of miners affects a short -term proposal, a real force that determines the market is institutional capital, a wider participation and expectations of favorable regulation. Miners no longer set the pace; This is done by the institutionals. “

With an increase in institutional demand on BTC and stable tributaries in BTC-ETF, any pressure from sales of miners can be compensated, which will help to maintain the price of a stable in August.

According to Sosovalue, ETF on BTC recorded a clean influx of $ 237 million this week, despite the side trend of the coin.

This confirms the opinion of Gadit that institutional capital, and not the activity of miners, supports the BTC price and can stabilize it next month.
