Retail investors known in the Bitcoin ecosystem as “shrimp” (holders under 1 btc), “crab” (1-10 btc), and “fish” (10-50 btc), are accumulating digital currencies at an accelerated pace.
According to the data On-chain Provided by GlassNode, These groups get 19,300 BTC per month, well over 13,400 BTC The miner produces in the same period.
This difference reveals demand for not only absorbing new broadcasts, but also withdrawing Bitcoin from other sources, such as large owners and circular offers.
This dynamic creates purchasing pressure that reduces the availability of Bitcoin in the market. Such a fact occurs last Monday when the price of digital currency reached a new historic maximum of $123,000.
The disparity between retail accumulation and miner production creates a supply crisis that serves as a key catalyst for the price bander impulse.
Investor Andres Meneseth highlights the stealth nature of the movement. “Retailers accumulate while the market is distracted. When the holders reflect that, the supply shock is already irreversible and Bitcoin reaches a new maximum,” he said.
This pattern suggests that Current accumulation may be laying the base for even more pronounced increases.
Meanwhile, public interest in Bitcoin is also growing. A search for the term “bitcoin” on Google raised a slight climb at the time of this phrase, marking a score of 23.
The data shows a strong correlation between these searches and the prices of currencies. Interestingly, search increases usually predict price increases and show that as the upward trend is integrated, it could precede a new rebound in Bitcoin’s value.
