Bitcoin (BTC) is displaying encouraging indicators that hint at a potential short-term price surge. According to data furnished by crypto analysis firm Santiment, the activity observed in Bitcoin's wallet addresses during August has reached its highest point in the past 3.5 months. This uptick could signify a forthcoming recovery in price, even amid substantial losses and prevailing negative sentiment among investors.

In the face of downward pressure on Bitcoin's price, it has managed to maintain a hovering stance around the $29,000 mark, exhibiting a level of low volatility not witnessed since June 2020. This period of relative stability could potentially lay the groundwork for a bottom formation, indicative of an impending major bullish upswing, in line with historical market patterns.

Mike McGlone, a seasoned commodity strategist at Bloomberg, elucidated that the notable drop in Bitcoin's 180-day volatility at the beginning of August frequently acts as a bullish signal for future price movements. However, McGlone did voice concerns about the potential impact on all risk assets, attributing it to Bitcoin's subdued performance in contrast to stocks since the conclusion of the first quarter of the year.

Interestingly, steadfast long-term investors of Bitcoin, colloquially known as "diamond hands," have retained 55% of the total supply over the last two years. Furthermore, "Bitcoin whales," representing millionaire and billionaire BTC investors, are continually accumulating Bitcoin, currently possessing a substantial 59.2% of the total BTC supply.

Conversely, Santiment's data highlights a surge in activity related to "Bitcoin wallet addresses," marking the highest point over the past 3.5 months during August. This spike in usage, coupled with significant losses and an overall pessimistic market sentiment, strongly suggests the potential for a short-term price surge in Bitcoin.

In tandem with these factors, the technical perspective for Bitcoin also points toward an upward trajectory. A cryptic and anonymous cryptocurrency analyst and trader, operating under the moniker CrediBULL Crypto, underscored that the anticipated major movement for the leading cryptocurrency is still on the horizon.

The analyst's interpretation of Bitcoin's monthly price chart accentuated a pattern suggestive of a bottom formation, both in the monthly price chart and the Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) chart, which gauges its market dominance. CrediBULL Crypto, musing on the price chart for Bitcoin, remarked, "The uptrend has been validated on the 12-hour chart, the higher timeframe RSI has reset, and it is maintaining its position above the crucial threshold of 40. Who is prepared for the imminent price surge?"
