More Pain On The Way?

The post More Pain On The Way? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On-chain data shows the OTC desks that Bitcoin miners like to use have seen their balance shoot up, a sign that historically been bearish.

Below is a chart that shows the trend in the balance of these probable miner “OTC desks” over the past decade.

In the consolidation period that has followed since this ATH, however, miners have made significant transfers into these addresses. As the quant notes, Bitcoin OTC desk balances for miners have increased by more than 70% over the past three months, rising from 215,000 BTC in June to 368,000 BTC in August—an increase of 153,000 BTC. The metric hasn’t been at such a high level…
