Bitcoin [BTC] regained its bullish momentum over the past few hours as the value of the king coin crossed the $70,000 mark after falling below $66,000.

Bitcoin reaches $70,000
According to CoinMarketCapBTC has risen 3% over the past seven days. In fact, the value is up more than 4% in the last 24 hours.
At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $70,310.91 with a market cap of over $1.38 trillion.
As the price of the coin rose, SimonaD, an author and analyst at CryptoQuant, posted analysis emphasizing the long-term actions of investors.
According to the analysis, the Long-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio is a crucial metric used in analyzing market trends and investor behavior, especially among long-term investors.
The analysis chart showed that Bitcoin long-term holder SOPR (EMA 144) had more highs since early March.
This means that investors took some profits along the way as the price reached new highs.

In fact, according to the latest data, long-term investors remained more active. AMBCrypto’s analysis of CryptoQuant facts revealed that BTC’s binary CDD was red.
This meant that long-term bond movements over the past seven days were higher than average. If they are moved for the purpose of sale, this could have a negative effect.
Furthermore, selling sentiment in general seemed to dominate the market as the net deposit of BTC on the exchanges was high compared to the average of the past seven days, which could soon lead to a price correction.
