Bitcoin Miners Increase Selling Pressure, Bearish Sign for Price
An analyst has reported a surge in the Miners’ Position Index (MPI), indicating that Bitcoin miners are selling their coins at an increased rate. The MPI measures the ratio between miner outflows and the 365-day moving average of those outflows. When the MPI value is above 1, it suggests that miners are selling more than the average, which can be bearish for Bitcoin.
The recent spike in the MPI is the highest since January 2021, indicating that miners may be applying significant selling pressure to the market. Miners regularly sell some of their Bitcoin to cover operating costs, but when their selling scale increases, it can impact the market. However, the long-term effects of this increase in selling pressure remain uncertain.
