Bitcoin Miners Raked in $1.66B in July—Best Haul Since April 2024 Halving

The Bitcoin price kicked off the weekend in the worst way possible, falling 
beneath the $115,000 level for the first time since early July. Considering 
the supposed significance of this price mark, there have been questions about 
how much headroom the price of Bitcoin still has. The latest on-chain data 
suggests that the Bitcoin bull run might not be over just yet. BTC Long-Term 
Holders Start Distributing In an August 1st post on X, crypto analyst Joao 
Wedson reported that the Bitcoin cycle for the long-term holders seems to be 
coming to an end. Related Reading: Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Just Turned Red 
For The First Time Since May — What This Means Wedson emphasized that, 
regardless of the ongoing excitement around ETFs, on-chain data shows a clear 
market shift. This shift signals that the cryptocurrency&#8217;s long-term holders 
are beginning to sell their coins, and, in large volumes, too. According to 
the analyst, about 50% of the amount of Bitcoin held in exchange-traded funds 
has been sold by the LTHs. Regardless of this situation, however, Wedson 
expects the BTC bull market to go on for “at least 2 more months” and the 
altcoins’ bull cycle for three months. Key Metrics Flash Warnings &#8211; But ‘Final 
Top’ Not Yet Seen Wedson backed his claim with four on-chain indicators, 
starting with the Coin Days Destroyed Terminal Adjusted Metric, which shows 
aged coins moving after being dormant for a long period of time. The analyst 
explained that there has been a significant movement of old BTC over the past 
two years. This, Wedson emphasized, triggered three major warning signs that 
coincide with a local top. Wedson also referenced the Reserve Risk Indicators 
to gauge current LTH conviction. This metric, from analysis, has entered a 
warning zone, as there is increased selling activity and hand exchanges. Next, 
the online pundit quoted results from the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) 
Trend Signal. The SOPR measures whether coins (in this case, Bitcoin) are 
moved at a profit or loss. Wedson pointed out that this indicator recently 
flashed a bearish signal, which implies increased profit-taking in the market. 
Referring to it as ‘the most accurate metric in the world’ used to identify 
Bitcoin&#8217;s macro tops, the Bitcoin Cycle Market Top Prediction: Max Intersect 
SMA Model was put out last. Wedson highlighted that this metric is yet to 
flash any bearish signal. Using the chart below, the analyst explained that 
until the blue line reaches the $69,000 level, the final top is yet to arrive. 
Ultimately, the analyst preached caution against panicking, as historical 
cycle patterns suggest that the final market top has yet to arrive. As of this 
writing, Bitcoin is valued at about $113,052, reflecting a 1.2% price decline 
in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: Record Bitcoin Prices Propel Strategy
