“Small Bitcoin Investors Are Back! The number of new BTC addresses on the network rose to 352,124, marking the highest level since April”, Martinez emphasized.

He also pointed out that Bitcoin miners are selling off their positions, a trend often seen before the start of a Bitcoin bull market.

At the same time, Martinez also noted the spike in BTC's buy/sell ratio.
