During the early years of 2015 and 2016, Bitcoin accumulation was cautious and irregular as the cryptocurrency was still new. However, during the 2017 bull market, Bitcoin saw a surge in accumulation. This was driven by rising prices and increased interest from mainstream investors, boosting confidence and global Bitcoin purchases.
In contrast, the bear markets of 2018 and 2019 saw less Bitcoin accumulation, indicating more selling than buying and lower investor confidence. But in 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a renewed interest in Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, big companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla bought significant amounts, showing renewed confidence in digital currencies.
Strategic Moves Before 2024
In 2021, Bitcoin surged to its highest-ever price during a strong market upswing, leading to increased buying by investors. However, as the market adjusted, there was a period where investors started selling off their holdings, showing how market sentiment can change over time.
Looking ahead, from mid-2023 to mid-2024, there has been a noticeable increase in buying activity. Experts have noticed that investors and institutions are strategically increasing their holdings, especially before the expected April 2024 halving event.
This suggests that investors are becoming more confident, and getting ready for potential future price changes.
