According to recent on-chain analysis, Bitcoin investors who have a history of never selling are ramping up their buying activities again. This move could potentially spell a positive shift for Bitcoin’s price.
Renewed Interest in Bitcoin Accumulation
In a recent post, the on-chain analytics team at CryptoQuant revealed an uptick in demand from Bitcoin’s steadfast Permanent Holders, also referred to as Accumulation Addresses. These specific addresses point to wallets that have only seen incoming transactions, with no outflows to date. Essentially, these are investors who have been purely buying, never selling their holdings. It’s important to note that any wallet connected to miners or exchanges doesn’t qualify, as these entities can exert selling pressure on the market. This pressure contrasts with what Accumulation Addresses represent, which is more about holding and locking away Bitcoin, thus reducing the overall supply available on the market.
The chart shared below illustrates the trend of this buying behavior over the recent years:

Earlier this year, the relentless buying by these Accumulation Addresses during late 2024 took a downturn, dropping below the 30-day simple moving average (SMA) come January. The earlier surge likely fueled a bullish momentum, but when their demand faltered, Bitcoin’s price rally seemed to lose steam as well.
However, over the last few days, there’s been a significant uptick in their buying activity. Purchases from these wallet holders have picked up speed once more, with the indicator quickly surging past the 30-day SMA, echoing patterns seen during the 2024 breakout. "Historically, such movements indicate strong market confidence and often lead to price rallies," CryptoQuant noted.
It’s worth acknowledging that while these Permanent Holders are unlikely to hold their assets indefinitely, as some will eventually sell to realize gains, their historical behavior suggests they could maintain these holding patterns for some time. This is why, when these Accumulation Addresses are active, it’s generally considered a bullish sign for Bitcoin.
Monitoring the demand from these steadfast investors is crucial as their actions might be key in determining Bitcoin’s near future. Continued buying could signal future price surges, while a slowdown might result in stagnant price movement.
Current Bitcoin Price Status
As it stands, Bitcoin has been somewhat indecisive in recent days, hovering around $98,700 without a clear direction.
