  <p class="is-style-lead">Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) has remained above $30,000 for the past month despite market indicators suggesting weakness. All that while, miners have been trying to liquidate their holdings.</p> 
  <p>The broader cryptocurrency market gained $70 billion in less than five hours after a US judge&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/xrp-is-not-a-security-us-judge-rules/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ruled</a>&nbsp;in favor of Ripple and XRP on July 13. The Bitcoin price rose to $30,800 on July 13 but fell below $30,000 twice in the past week, dropping to as low as $29,685 on July 17.</p>

  <p>Data from CryptoQuant suggests that the consolidation at around $30,000 may be due to mixed factors, including short-term holders (STHs), miners, and volatility.</p>

  <p>Since April, the supply of STHs has gradually decreased, with sudden hikes at some bullish points. Overall, they have been selling less, which could significantly decrease bitcoin’s selling pressure. </p> 
  <p>Meanwhile, miners have been actively selling their diggings as the next halving event gets closer, estimated to take place in April 2024.<br>Amid this development, Bitcoin’s volatility has been falling over the past four months while the number of Bitcoin exchange deposits fell to a one-month low, according to data provided by Glassnode.</p>
