Bitcoin’s upward trajectory, after getting interrupted by an 18% dip last week, was met with a lot of consolidation. However, as Bitcoin holders looked reluctant to sell-off at a crucial time amid anticipation of a price rise, on-chain metrics offered an interesting insight into the current market sentiment.  Some interesting divergences in BTC’s supply dynamics posed a complex question – Are they projecting bullish or bearish divergences?
