Bitcoin News: With BTC Price Under $64K, Is This the Right Time to Buy Bitcoin?

The Bitcoin market has been in an accumulation phase since its peak in mid-March. While this was initially driven by institutional and long-term investors, retail and short-term investors are now stepping in, signaling a shift in market dynamics.

This shift raises intriguing questions about the future direction of Bitcoin and whether a new era of growth is on the horizon.

Why Are Small Investors Stocking Up?

Over the past 30 days, investors have accumulated at least 88,000 BTC. Notably, around 35,000 BTC—about 40% of this total—has been bought by small-scale investors. These include ‘Crabs’ (holding 1 to 10 BTC) and ‘Shrimps’ (with less than 1 BTC). Their growing participation is a sign of increasing confidence among retail investors in Bitcoin’s potential.

At the same time, approximately 40,000 BTC have been withdrawn from exchange wallets, which could impact market liquidity. With the current BTC accumulation rate at seven times the monthly Bitcoin issuance of 13,500 BTC, liquidity may tighten further.

Bitcoin Exchange Outflow: A Short Overview

BTC exchange outflows hit a high of 80,740.199 BTC in late August. Since then, outflows in September have ranged from 53,709.400 BTC to 8,574.31 BTC, currently sitting at 4,401.74 BTC. With only 26% of the circulating BTC supply considered liquid, this accumulation trend could play a major role in shaping Bitcoin’s market in the near future.

The combination of strong retail accumulation and shrinking liquidity points to a potentially bullish future for Bitcoin.
