Bitcoin on track for best month since October
The flagship cryptocurrency, which remains above the $24,500 level despite a brief lull late Saturday, is also on track to record its best monthly performance in nine months.
With gains of over 23% in July, BTC/USD is positioned to see its monthly returns the best since seeing nearly 40% in October 2021.
Bitcoin is also registering a positive monthly return for the first time since March when the 30-day performance stood at around 5.4%. Over the three months of April, May and June, Bitcoin price fell by almost 68%, which leaves July as a very good month for bulls.
On-chain, exchange macro outflows have continued as hodlers dug in amid the crypto winter. According to Glassnode, exchange balances have fallen to just about 12.6% of circulating supply, representing 2.4 million BTC.
