The mining wallets of the largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have been through a consistent decline in the asset holdings since the mid-2024. However, a slight recovery in prices indicates that miners might increase their collective assets. 
According to the analytics firm Santiment, this drop in supply is significant, and if the combined holdings of the asset increase, it could <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1834464742196609346" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">signal</a> the beginning of a potential bull market.&nbsp; 
The data reveals that the mining wallets of BTC and ETH have experienced a 4.3% and 4.5% plunge in holdings respectively. The decline in Bitcoin holdings has been observed since the peak on April 21. On the other hand, the ETH started to drop after the peak on June 10, 2024.&nbsp;

Notably, the Bitcoin <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-miners-struggle-continues-amid-august-production-decline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">miners</a> currently hold 2.14 million BTC, while Ethereum miners hold 1.18 million ETH. Looking ahead, when miners hold their assets, it likely reflects an appreciation in future price momentum. Conversely, if they reduce their holdings, it might indicate caution in the market, leading to bearish sentiment. The recent offloading of both assets reflects the negative sentiment in the market. 
Meanwhile, the crypto miners’ asset accumulation is historically connected with the expected price hikes. The holding assets reflect confidence in the market’s upward potential and reduce the sudden selling pressure. 
In addition, Bitcoin’s 2024 halving event has reduced the issuance of new coins by half. However, Ethereum’s supply has been increasing, following its recent Dencun upgrade.&nbsp; 
Looking Ahead at the Price Action&nbsp;of BTC and ETH 
The crypto market has experienced significant volatility in recent months, affecting all asset prices. However, the recent price momentum of Bitcoin and Ethereum suggests the prolonged struggle to overcome the bearish grip.&nbsp; 
Bitcoin (<a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-faces-struggles-to-rebound-amid-bearish-market-pressure/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) is currently trading at $58,082, within the negative market sentiment. The asset has briefly gained 0.10%, with its trading volume plummeting by over 20.10% to $29.62 billion. Besides, Ethereum (ETH) has spiked by 0.10%, trading at $2,354. The trading volume of the asset has declined by 29.37% to $10.66 billion, as per CMC <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">data</a>.&nbsp;
