Bitcoin Supply Decline Sparks Hope for Christmas Rally

Bitcoin is trading around the $90,000 mark with a 2% decline in the past 24 hours, raising short-term concerns. Analysts suggest that Bitcoin may be entering a supply squeeze, potentially leading to price rallies.

  • Exchange balances have decreased significantly, with centralized exchanges holding about 2.76 million BTC.
  • Long-term holders and institutions are withdrawing coins, reducing immediate sale supply.
  • Santiment data shows a significant reduction of approximately 403,200 BTC from exchanges over the past year, a 2.09% drop in total circulating supply on trading platforms.

Analyst Michael van de Poppe forecasts a potential breakout to $100,000 if current trends hold. Macro liquidity trends may favor Bitcoin, similar to previous setups that led to significant rallies.
