Key Takeaways:
Bitcoin miner selling pressure has dropped to a multi-year low, with the Miners' Position Index (MPI) falling to 0.3 on April 7, 2026, indicating a sharp reduction in BTC transfers from miners to exchanges.
"An MPI value below 1 suggests that miners are selling less than their daily average, while a value above 2 would indicate heavy selling," according to data from CryptoQuant. "The current reading is the lowest on record, pointing to significant holding behavior."
The decrease in miner selling corresponds with a decline in the total outflow of Bitcoin from miner wallets to all exchanges. On-chain data shows these outflows have decreased by over 40% compared to the previous month, creating a potential supply-side constraint for the market. This trend is also reflected in the hash rate, which remains near all-time highs, showing miners are still actively producing BTC but choosing not to sell.
This record-low selling activity suggests miners are anticipating higher Bitcoin prices in the near future. Should demand for Bitcoin remain strong, particularly with continued inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC, this reduction in miner supply could act as a powerful catalyst for the next major price move, with analysts watching the $70,000 level as a key resistance.
