Bitcoin Supply Shock Debate Grows as IFP Turns Bullish

Bitcoin shows bullish signals: 81% of supply hasn't moved in six months, and the Inter-exchange Flow Pulse indicator turned bullish. High dormant supply may indicate a potential shock, but price impact depends on demand. Rising inflows into derivatives exchanges suggest stronger upward momentum, though past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
