Most of these coins, according to Edris, were purchased during the 2021 bull market and above the $30,000 price mark.

“During the late phases of bear markets, even the more loyal investors tend to capitulate out of fear and sell their coins at huge losses to prevent bigger ones. These types of capitulations tend to occur during the last months of a bear market, pointing to a potential bottom formation in the near future.”
