Exchange Activity Surges After Bitcoin Breaks Out $10k Mark

On-change exchange volume activity has ran through the roof after Bitcoin surged over $10000 mark in the recent market hike. Gain for Bitcoin also meant that other coins including Ethereum lost its sheen.

According to a data accumulated from Glassnode, the regular trading pattern has seen a certain change. Interestingly, the only metric that experienced a downward trend is the number of exchange deposits. This may be a bullish sign in its own right.

The data for the previous week indicates a major spike in off-chain trading volume as well. For instance, the BTC/USD pair saw a 70% increase in its biggest bounce since April; DAI/USDT spiked by over 700% in the same time period.

Bloomberg believes that the fundamentals indicate that Bitcoin will surpass $12,000 this year, if not higher. With the massive push coming over the last 24 hours, some began to speculate whether Bitcoin can break its all-time high of $20,000.
