In recent times, cryptocurrency market fluctuations have been largely attributed to miners, particularly following the Bitcoin halving event. The halving resulted in mining rewards being slashed by half, rendering older mining machines redundant due to cost-inefficiency. Consequently, mining activity saw a decline as miners resorted to selling Bitcoin via OTC transactions to cover operational costs.

The current market is perceived as being in a phase of absorbing this sell-off. Encouragingly, the volume and frequency of Bitcoins being transferred out of miners' wallets have seen a swift downturn. This suggests a weakening in miners' selling pressure. If this selling volume is fully absorbed, it could pave the way for a potential upward rally.

Given these dynamics, there is reason to be optimistic about cryptocurrency market movements in the third quarter of 2024.
