Following Bitcoin's BTC$66,455.13 decline below $60,000 earlier this month, investors flocked to the leading cryptocurrency, leading to nearly 260,000 BTC transactions over the span of 10 days and a surge in demand metrics reaching their maximum.

Since June 5, investors have acquired a net total of 259,298 BTC, spending between $59,000 and $67,000, as reported by Glassnode UTXO Realized Price Distribution data. The Accumulation Trend Score by Wallet Cohort from Glassnode, which assesses the intensity of buying based on buyer size and the amount acquired in the preceding 15 days, has attained a score of 1.0, its highest possible level.

The purchasing activity has been widespread across wallet categories, including those with less than 1 BTC, typically retail buyers, to entities holding as much as 1,000 BTC. Significantly, during the months of March to May, the majority of these groups were net sellers, as Bitcoin prices hovered around $70,000.

Currently, the overall Accumulation Trend Score has remained elevated for over two weeks, showcasing robust buying activity among various cohorts, marking the most substantial accumulation trend observed during the ongoing drawdown.
