Despite Bitcoin (BTC) gaining notable traction over the past week – rising from approximately $85,000 on April 21 to nearly $95,000 today – the top cryptocurrency\u2019s Demand Momentum remains significantly subdued, signalling caution among investors.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Demand Momentum Continues To Be In Negative Zone<\/h2>\n

According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post<\/a> by analyst Crazzyblockk, Bitcoin\u2019s 30-day Demand Momentum is still firmly in negative territory. Currently, the 30-day Demand Momentum stands at around -483,860 BTC, while the 30-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the same metric is hovering near -310,700 BTC.<\/p>\n

\"CQ\"<\/p>\n

To clarify, the 30-day Demand Momentum is calculated by subtracting the 30-day Long-Term Holder (LTH) Supply from the 30-day Short-Term Holder (STH) Supply. This metric effectively measures the net shift in active demand for BTC.<\/p>\n

A rise in short-term holder supply relative to long-term holders implies that market participants are increasingly opting to speculate rather than hold Bitcoin for the long haul.<\/p>\n

Trading in the negative zone suggests waning demand from short-term investors. This could be attributed to profit-taking – especially after BTC\u2019s recent 10% rally over the past seven days – or lingering market uncertainty amid global economic concerns, including renewed trade tariff tensions.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the market is experiencing a dynamic where long-term holders are absorbing fewer BTC than what short-term holders are distributing. According to Crazzyblockk, such behavior is commonly observed during late-cycle distribution phases or macro-level consolidation periods.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Bitcoin has previously experienced similar deep negative divergences in Demand Momentum, specifically during mid-2021 and the second quarter of 2022. In both instances, these divergences were followed by sharp price pullbacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On an optimistic note, the ensuing market recovery on both the instances coincided with market bottoms. They also marked the resumption of sustainable bullish momentum in the following months.<\/p>\n

If Bitcoin can reverse this negative demand trend and push the metric back into positive territory, it could signal a strong resurgence in investor conviction. A return to the “green zone” would likely mark a renewed uptrend, potentially pushing BTC to a new all-time high (ATH) in the near term.<\/p>\n

Positive Signs Emerging For BTC<\/h2>\n

While Demand Momentum remains weak, other market signals suggest that Bitcoin could be nearing a trend reversal. For example, Bitcoin\u2019s Apparent Demand – a separate on-chain metric – has recently shown a sharp rebound, hinting at a possible return of buying pressure.<\/p>\n

Additionally, BTC exchange reserves continue to decline rapidly. According to recent data, Bitcoin just recorded its highest exchange withdrawal volume in two years. This ongoing depletion of exchange-held BTC could lead to a supply squeeze, further supporting bullish price action.<\/p>\n

Technical indicators also point toward the possibility of BTC testing its current ATH of $108,786. At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $94,773, up 0.3% over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
