Quotes of digital gold are held at levels above $30,500 (CoinGecko). Over the past seven days, the coin has risen in price by more than 14%.
According to some commentators, this could encourage miners to sell their accumulated reserves. However, the sale did not exert significant pressure on the exchange rate – the price remains in the “green” zone at various time intervals.
It means that some entities sell coins they generated in the past.
Not more, not less.
It’s selling pressure (bad) but afterwards price can move up more freely if demand exists (good)
