Data shows that BTC/USD has gained almost 15% in value in a week and it is now time to re-evaluate its risks.
According to Van Straten, the total transfer volume between STHs and exchanges (that is, coins prepared for sale) approached 5 billion dollars in the last four days.

Van Straten cited data from on-chain analysis firm Glassnode.
Therefore, STH’s profit taking continues to reflect its activity from two years ago, when BTC/USD reached its current record high of $69,000.
