Currently, over 60%of the entire BTC mining pools are situate in the most populous Asian country and Lennard Neo, the Head of Research at Stack Funds notes that the upcoming new year’s holiday is influencing the massive selling pressure that is suspectedly ensuing from the large population of miners in China.
Neo noted that the Miner Position Index (MPI) has scaled upwards being one of the many reasons for BTC price pauses and drops so far. The middle of January, 2021 alone has witnessed record highs in BTC prices since 2019. To this end, Neo prophesies further dips in BTC prices.
He notes:
“With upcoming Chinese New Year holidays, we expect this selling pressure to continue in the short-term, providing good entry opportunities for market participants. We also expect this volatility to persist in the coming weeks, adding pressure to further corrections for Bitcoin prices.”
