The on-chain data analytics platform, CryptoQuant, shared an insight into crypto miners’ selling activities, alleging that it affects the market at large. In a blog written by a crypto trader Shayan, also known as the Greatest Trader, revealed that the selling behavior of crypto miners “deeply affects markets.” Notably, the CryptoQuant platform tweeted on March 9, embedding the link to Shayan’s blog, noting:

Better to watch out and monitor the miner’s selling behavior.

Better to watch-out and monitor the miner's selling behavior!

"This shows that the recent bullish spike in #Bitcoin’s price has provided a great chance for the miners to offload their assets, controlling their mining expenses."

Additionally, the blog repeated that the miner’s activities highly influence the crypto market. This is because the miners hold a large number of assets. Moreover, the blog asserted that the miner’s activities and behavior impact the market in “terms of trader’s sentiment.” However, the blog’s incorporated chart claims that it demonstrates the miner reserve metric. The miner reserve metric measures the coins miners hold in their wallets.

Nonetheless, the graph by the blogger, Shayan, indicated that during the recent bullish period in the crypto space, most on-chain metrics presented bullish signs. Notably, the miner reserve metrics have entered a bearish trend. As per the CryptoQuant graph, it has reached new yearly lows.

Crypto Miners’ alert

CryptoQuant has warned about the bullish trend in the crypto space, alerting individuals, ” It is better to manage the risks in the coming weeks.” The platform asserted:

This indicates that the recent bullish spike in Bitcoin’s price has provided a great chance for the miners to offload their assets, controlling their mining expenses. This selling behavior may result in a mid-term bearish sentiment in the market. As a result, it is better to manage in the upcoming weeks.

Additionally, the CryptoQuant platform allows the crypto community to share their comments and claims concerning the possibilities of market spikes and falls. Last year, a margin trading method was practiced by crypto enthusiasts to earn a profit when the market is volatile. The trading includes accounts that enable traders to obtain more funds and support them using different positions. Notably, margin trading is primarily applicable to low-volatile markets. It is mainly practiced in stock and forex, among others.

Margin Trading

However, it is worth noting that margin trading gives the potential for large profits within a brief period. Notably, it enables traders to establish more prominent positions with lesser capital. According to Coin Edition reports, margin trading allows users to store fewer crypto on an exchange. This method will enable traders to trade successfully even in slight market fluctuation.

However, Shayan posted a poll on investors’ thoughts about the bullish and bearish crypto trends. At the time of writing, the investors polled eight voted for the bearish trend. On the other hand, the bullish trend had zero votes.
