The on-chain analytics firm Santiment has explained how this
Bitcoin indicator has been one of the top leading indicators in the
cryptocurrency market. Holdings Of Bitcoin Investors With At Least
10 BTC May Correlate To Price In a new post on X, Santiment has
discussed about a metric that has historically been one of the top
leading indicators in the sector. The metric in question is the
total amount of supply held by the Bitcoin investors carrying at
least 10 BTC in their wallets. Related Reading: How High Can

rate of the cryptocurrency, this cutoff is equivalent to around
$683,000. As such, the investors holding sums of this scale or
higher would be larger than the regular retail holders. Key groups
such as sharks and whales fall in this range. These cohorts are
generally considered to be influential beings, so their behavior
can be worth keeping an eye on. While the 10+ BTC group wouldn’t
solely include these large investors, the trend in its holdings
would still at least in part encapsulate what these key holders
would be doing. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the
combined holdings of investors carrying balance in this range over
the last few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin
supply held by investors belonging to this group has been going up
recently, suggesting that accumulation has been occurring from the
large holders. According to Santiment, there has historically been
a pattern between the price and the behavior of the investors
falling in this range. “When they accumulate, cryptocurrencies
rise. When they dump, extended bear markets come,” explains the
analytics firm. Instances of this trend are also visible in the
chart. The supply held by this cohort started rising in October
2019 and kept up the rise throughout the bull run that followed in
2021. In February 2022, the behavior of these Bitcoin investors
changed, however, as their combined holdings started heading down
instead. This led into the bear market. The decline stopped after
the FTX crash back in November 2022 and the holdings of these
investors took to sideways movement in 2023. At the end of the
year, another shift finally happened as the metric gained an
uptrend. This accumulation likely kicked off because of the
imminent spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval in January. These
investors kept up this buying pressure post-approval as well, which
all culminated into the rally towards the new all-time high (ATH).

action could be ahead for the asset, if historical pattern is to go

recently, with its price trading around $68,300 at the moment.
