MARA moves 1,000 BTC to exchanges as Bitcoin tests $83,000 resistance

2 min

Bitcoin trades at $82,910.73, up 1.01% over 24 hours, above $82,000 and the $82,500 resistance flagged by analysts, with the next test near $83,000. A treasury question is in focus: Lookonchain tracked 1,000 BTC, about $82.8 million, moving from MARA-linked wallets to Binance and Gate across five days. These deposits can precede sales but do not confirm selling. MARA also moved 996 BTC earlier in October to a Galaxy Digital address. Miner-related flows add potential supply, but exchange inflows alone do not establish market selling.
