Bitcoin has been struggling to gain momentum in either direction, but the aggressive selling into every attempted pump suggests that bears may currently have an edge over it.<\/p>\n
The crypto\u2019s slight weakness at the moment has not been enough to spark any prolonged downtrend, however, and many analysts remain bullish in the short and mid-term.<\/p>\n
On-chain data supports this sentiment, as the spot reserves of BTC on exchanges have been dropping rapidly throughout the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading up just over 2% at its current price of $33,850, which marks a notable decline from its recent highs of nearly $35,000 that were set overnight.<\/p>\n
This rally may have come about due to Elon Musk\u2019s appearance on Clubhouse last night, which led many to speculate that he would discuss Bitcoin and maybe make a big announcement surrounding it.<\/p>\n
He did note that he believes BTC is on the cusp of gaining mainstream adoption, but he didn\u2019t announce that he has purchased any.<\/p>\n
One analyst pointed to the balance of spot Bitcoin on exchanges as a bullish trend that seems to favor imminent upside.<\/p>\n
He noted that global BTC spot reserves are now at the lowest since the macro bottom in December of 2018.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSpot reserves dropped pretty hard yesterday (which is bullish). Global $BTC spot reserves are now at its lowest point since the macro bottom in December 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
