Bitcoin Price Analysis

Fundamentals

Coinciding with Yen, CHF and gold revival, Bitcoin’s rally was significant. Despite criticism, Bitcoin is gradually emerging as a reliable store of value regardless of historical price fluctuations.

Nonetheless, what is attractive is Bitcoin’s stability. Secured by pitch-perfect distribution and decentralization, the network is robust and presently impervious. Add that to the trustlessness and the lack of intermediaries guaranteeing an autonomous system and that could explain the reason why 21.5 percent of all BTC in circulation are static, stored in a single address over the last five years.

According to Delphi Capital, recent price swings also attracted new sellers. Outflows through to June also increased revealing that coin owners may be moving their stash offline in readiness of holding.
