The recent movement of Bitcoins from wallets in the 1M-3M, 3M-6M, and 6M-12M age bands to exchanges suggests potential short-term selling pressure for the Bitcoin (BTC) price. This surge in Bitcoin spending activity has been observed by CryptoQuant, a leading on-chain data analytics platform.

According to the data, over the weekend, nearly 40% of the Bitcoins sent to exchanges came from wallets holding the 3M-6M range, while 20% came from the 6M-12M range, with the remainder being mixed. This movement of Bitcoins to exchanges is likely to create further selling pressure, potentially leading to a short-term increase in the BTC price, followed by a major downturn.

Popular crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe has anticipated that the BTC price could drop to the range of $63,000 to $64,500 in the early part of this week. The analyst noted that the BTC price has been stuck between $57,000 and $73,000 for a while, and the current bullish divergence has solidified, with the price attempting to maintain above $66,300.

However, the analyst emphasized the importance of bulls stepping up to reclaim this range, as the sideways price action has led to some impatience among investors. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also highlighted a significant potential liquidation event on Binance should Bitcoin's price reach $67,450, with approximately $19.50 million worth of positions potentially being liquidated on the exchange.

This observation underscores the volatility and risk management challenges associated with trading cryptocurrencies at high price levels. The surge in Bitcoin exchange inflows and the potential for a price drop to $63,000 suggest that investors should exercise caution and closely monitor the market conditions in the coming days.
