This number drops slightly to 44% with respect to the percentage of Bitcoin that has not moved in over two years. Additionally, 28% of the Bitcoin supply has not moved in over 3 years.

For Bitcoin traders leaning bearish, the 100-day and 200-day moving averages provide adequate support on a macro level between $8,500 and $8,300.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it can be loosely concluded that Bitcoin is going through a consolidation phase on a macro level despite the short term possible bearish environment.
