Data shows the Bitcoin miner reserves have continued to trend downwards recently, suggesting that miners have been dumping their coins.
Bitcoin Miners Have Been Withdrawing From Their Wallets In Recent Days
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, BTC miner reserves have been observing negative change recently, something that could lead to a decline in the price of the crypto.
The “miner reserves” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin currently present in the wallets of all miners.
When the value of this metric goes up, it means miners are depositing more coins into their wallets right now. Such a trend, when prolonged, can be bullish for the value of BTC as it can be a sign of accumulation from these network validators.
On the other hand, a decline in the indicator implies miners are transferring coins out of their reserves at the moment. Since miners usually take out their BTC for selling purposes, this kind of trend can prove to be bearish for the crypto.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin miner netflows, a metric that records the percentage changes in the total miner reserves, over the last few months:
