According to Cryptoquant analyst DarkFrost, Odaily reports that selling pressure from OG holders has significantly decreased. The 90-day average of spent UTXOs has dropped from a cycle high of approximately 2,300 BTC to around 1,000 BTC, indicating a current trend favoring holding. This trend aligns with the largest net outflow of Bitcoin from exchanges since December 2024. Analysis suggests Bitcoin has entered a breakout phase and may challenge the $107,000 target price, driven by technical indicators, reduced selling pressure from long-term holders, and continued BTC outflows from exchanges. On the macro front, the correlation between Bitcoin and gold has turned negative; historical data shows that in such situations, BTC typically rises by an average of 56% within approximately two months.
