Key points: Bitcoin miners have stopped selling their BTC in what may signal the end of a lengthy distribution streak. Over the past month, miner wallet balances have increased by around 2,700 BTC. Hash Ribbons data shows good times continuing for both miners and BTC price strength. Bitcoin (BTC) accumulation by miners is back as network participants swap selling for hodling at $75,000 lows. Data from onchain analytics firm Glassnode shows that miners are now actively adding to their BTC reserves. Bitcoin miners buck months of selling Bitcoin hitting multimonth lows in April sparked a sea change in miner behavior, with a lengthy selling streak reversing into significant accumulation. Glassnode shows that shortly after BTC/USD bottomed just below $75,000, the balance in miner wallets itself found a floor, only to then start increasing along with price. Miner wallets held 1,794,622 BTC on April 12, while as of May 13, they had reached 1,797,330 BTC — an increase of 2,708 BTC or 0.15%. While minimal in terms of total miner holdings, the turnaround is conspicuous as it follows a run of selling that initially gained momentum in late 2023. This, in turn, has led to optimism over the BTC price trajectory. “Extremely bullish for Bitcoin!” trader and investor Mister Crypto summarized in a reaction on X, referencing similar data from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant.

Hash Ribbons deliver classic BTC bull signal A classic metric covering miner behavior continues to display classic performance since its latest “buy” signal.

Since offering its last market entry tip in late March, BTC/USD has gained around 20%. “The hash ribbons are still flashing a buy signal here,” Mister Crypto commented in a post on the phenomenon this week, predicting BTC price to “go much higher in May.” This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.
