Meanwhile, easing miner outflows contrast with persistent selling pressure, leaving the market at a critical turning point.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since late August, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/predictions\/bitcoin-price-prediction\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin&#8217;s [BTC]<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Illiquid Supply has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptosR_Us\/status\/1964877103737786636\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">surged<\/a> to an all-time high of 14.3 million BTC. It represents more than 72% of circulating coins, locked away from active trading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This increase includes a fresh 20K BTC accumulation over the last 30 days, suggesting that long-term holders (LTHs) remain confident despite recent market corrections. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>At press time, BTC traded at $111,160 after a 0.5% daily gain.<\/p>\n<p>That tightening liquidity shifted focus toward whether this heavy stacking could set up Bitcoin\u2019s next breakout.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Are miners signaling reduced selling pressure?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At press time, the Miners\u2019 Position Index (MPI) dropped to -1.41, marking a 3.1% drop in the past 24 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the uninformed, this ratio compares miner outflows to their one-year average, and a negative reading highlights restrained selling activity from mining pools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Historically, reduced miner outflows have aligned with accumulation phases, lowering immediate supply pressure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Having said that, the moderation did not eliminate downside risks, since miners can still adjust quickly during volatility.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_526155\"
