7+ Years Bitcoin Holders Move Large Amounts of BTC Amid Price Rebound: CryptoQuant

On-chain analysis shows that long-term Bitcoin holders have reawakened and are shifting large amounts of the asset following its rebound from under $90,000. Bitcoin has rebounded nicely from a short-term price bearish trend. The pioneering cryptocurrency rebounded over 20% from its lows of $78,179 last week to close above $94,000 on Sunday. While the rebound has pulled the bull cycle back on track, data shows long-term holders might be growing impatient with Bitcoin . A recent analytical exposition shows that funds transfers among holders who bought at least before the last two Bitcoin halvings have surged extensively. Large Holders Shifting BTC Maarten Regterschot, a market watcher and CryptoQaunt’s community manager, recently shared intriguing Bitcoin activity among long-term holders. In a tweet today, he noted that there has been considerable movement among old Bitcoin wallets since the asset rebounded from the latest dip. First, an accompanying chart shows a spike in Bitcoin’s spent output age bands among wallets holding Bitcoin for at least seven years since yesterday. For perspective, the indicator displays the spent output among users within a specific age band, giving insight into the market sentiments of an underlying asset's short and long-term holders. The analysis shows that whale wallets between 7 and 10 years old moved nearly 180 BTC immediately after the market rebounded to a high of $96,484 on Sunday. Similar on-chain activities were seen among wallets at least 10 years old, which moved over 120 BTC earlier today.

Furthermore, Regterschot, popularly known by his first name, Maarten, disclosed another hefty Bitcoin shift among wallets between 5 and 7 years. While Bitcoin continues to trend around $93,400 today, addresses in the early-mentioned category have moved 1,453.40 BTC.

These significant shifts hint at possible Bitcoin sales among old wallets. Notably, whales in this category bought the premier asset for at least under $25,000, a staggering profit at its current market price above $90,000. Bitcoin Still a Bargain at Current Price? While old Bitcoin wallets have resorted to possible sales, analyst Ali Martinez has suggested that the current price may still be a bargain. In a tweet today, he indicated that now is the best time to buy Bitcoin for maximum gains. Martinez cited the negative Bitcoin funding rate as a historical indicator of a buy-in. The metric, which tracks the cost of holding a buy or sell perpetual futures contract of Bitcoin in an exchange, is currently under 0, specifically at -0.001.

As a result, the prominent market analyst stated this could be a good opportunity to stack the pioneering cryptocurrency. In the meantime, Bitcoin trades at $91,897, down 2.64% in the past day.
