Bitcoin has seen a six-month high in trading volume, driven by a spike in the number of addresses holding BTC tokens for less than 30 days, according to blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock. This pattern of short-term holders accumulating Bitcoin is similar to previous bull markets in 2020-2021 and 2017, suggesting an optimistic outlook. Additionally, there has been a surge in long positions in the derivatives market, indicating growing trader optimism. The accumulation and trading activity around Bitcoin also suggests wider implications for macroeconomics, although the actual outcomes remain to be seen in the coming months.
