On-chain data shows that Bitcoin investors have shifted towards aggressive accumulation recently, something that may help sustain the rally longer.
Bitcoin Accumulation Trend Score Has Tended Towards 1 Recently
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, there is a structural similarity forming between the current and 2018-2019 BTC cycles. The indicator of interest here is the “accumulation trend score,” which tells us whether Bitcoin investors have been accumulating or distributing over the past month.
This metric’s value represents not only the number of coins that the holders are selling or buying but also the wallet sizes of the entities that are taking part in the accumulation or distribution trends.
When the accumulation trend score has a value near the 1 mark, it means the large entities (or a huge number of small investors) are accumulating the asset currently.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin accumulation trend score over the last few years:

Interestingly, the trend that the current rally is following seems to be similar to what was seen duri
