This tends to be a bullish signal in the medium term, as they are unlikely to acquire large amounts of Bitcoin without careful calculation.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, this index surge coincided with fluctuating price volatility. But volatility isn\u2019t the only factor here. As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/blackrock-warns-of-bitcoin-supply-shock-not-enough-btc-supply-for-us-millionaires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supply of Bitcoin<\/a> on exchanges dwindles, many buyers appear to become more aggressive.<\/p>\n<p>Arab Chain noted that this phenomenon typically occurs after capital inflows or news that fuels optimism. However, accumulation alone won\u2019t help much if new demand doesn\u2019t emerge.<\/p>\n<p>One factor that reinforces this narrative comes from spot data. According to analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/6902812dc318eb45c69e4749-October-stands-out-as-one-of-the-strongest-months-of-the-year-for-BTC-spot-volum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Darkfost<\/a>, Bitcoin spot trading volume on Binance during October exceeded $174 billion\u2014the second highest all year.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cryptoquant.com\/563193\/quicktake\/9qZfmFsjk_eed112d43e4130aa948da1d494862aed4be476dff6113a1662e3bf2c032bf85a.png\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: CryptoQuant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Total BTC spot volume across all exchanges reached over $300 billion. This data reflects that investors\u2014both retail and institutional\u2014are becoming risk-averse in the derivatives market and are shifting to spot.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the massive liquidation event on October 10th is considered the main trigger for this shift. It was the largest liquidation in the history of the crypto market.<\/p>\n<p>Many traders seem to realize that playing with excessive leverage is like sitting on a rocking chair above a cliff. It\u2019s terrifying. So, they\u2019re choosing the safe route\u2014buying Bitcoin outright and holding it for themselves.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Price Drops, But Major Moves Continue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Interestingly, all of this dynamics are occurring while Bitcoin\u2019s price is actually sliding. Meanwhile, as of press time, BTC is trading at about <strong>$108,433<\/strong>, down <span><strong>4.42%<\/strong><\/span> in the last 24 hours, with daily spot volume reaching $9.76 billion.<\/p>\n<p>However, the buying behavior of large investors indicates they\u2019re not chasing short-term swings, but rather trusting the market to correct itself in time.<\/p>\n<p>CNF also previously reported that the long-term trend shows that Bitcoin is increasingly being held and withdrawn from exchanges. This is similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/central-banks-are-stockpiling-gold-while-bitcoin-gains-a-silent-role\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strategy of central banks that continue to accumulate gold<\/a> as a reserve of value, and now Bitcoin is starting to be treated in the same way.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not all analysts share this view. We previously highlighted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/bitcoin-btc-faces-bearish-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Brandt\u2019s warning<\/a>, stating that the broadening top pattern on the BTC chart reminded him of the soybean price crash of the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>In the worst-case scenario, the price could plummet. However, on the other hand, some analysts still believe that Bitcoin could still reach $250,000 before the current cycle is over.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h6>Recommended for you:<\/h6>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Binance\u2019s Bitcoin Scarcity Index surged in October, signaling intensified accumulation by whales and large investors amid reduced BTC supply.
