According to recent data from on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, in recent weeks, the Bitcoin market has witnessed a fascinating phenomenon: long-dormant BTC, untouched in wallets for up to a decade, are suddenly springing into action.

This movement coincides with Bitcoin’s price once again reclaiming the $70,000 mark, a dynamic that has not only captured the attention of investors but also sparked analysis from on-chain analytics experts.

Revival Of The Sleeping Giants

The data revealed by CryptoQuant illuminates a surprising trend: on June 2 alone, roughly 2,800 BTC that had been idle for two to three years were transferred. The following day, a movement of 4,500 BTC, dormant for four to five years, outstripped this.

The activity didn’t stop there; even BTC that had not moved for over a decade—210 BTC, to be precise—changed hands. This phenomenon, referred to as “old coins moving” by a CryptoQuant author, Maartunn, suggests an “allocation” phase, where long-term holders begin to release their coins back into circulation.

Particularly, according to Maartunn, old coins moving indicates a potential shift from holding to “distribution,” a sign often seen in mature bull markets. This resurgence of old BTC is notable, as it aligns with historical price peaks, including BTC’s previous rally to a new peak in March.

And another 2,123 $BTC with the same age.

In other words, distribution. 😉https://t.co/BBg4e9pNoz https://t.co/zXtjrZ78Y6 pic.twitter.com/bKJgDzAIF0

A Signal Of Bullish Trends

The movement of these long-dormant coins is more than a mere statistic; it reflects a broader sentiment among Bitcoin holders.

According to another CryptoQuant contributor, Onchained, during bullish market phases, it is common for long-term holders to offload parts of their holdings as prices rise. This pattern is currently evident as Bitcoin continues to test major resistance levels.

Moreover, Onchained further revealed that despite recent market fluctuations, the consistent increase in Bitcoin held in unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) for over three years suggests a strong bullish sentiment persists among veteran investors.

The analyst further noted:

The 1-year+ and 2-year+ cohorts have ceased selling, transitioning from a distribution phase to a holding phase. This change indicates a renewed confidence in Bitcoin’s future price potential, as these cohorts choose to retain their holdings rather than liquidate them at current prices.

Adding to the complexity of Bitcoin’s market dynamics is the recent decline in miner reserves, hitting a 14-year low, reminiscent of the early days of Bitcoin when Satoshi Nakamoto was still active. This decrease in miner holdings could presage a tightening of Bitcoin supply, potentially accelerating a supply crunch.

Samuel Edyme

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname - HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.

Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.

Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.

When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)

Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.

In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.

Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think's probably unfeasible, I've done already a hundredfold.”

PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
