While most were panicked about the Iran war, someone was buying. A lot.
On-chain data shows about 850,000 BTC were bought between $60,000 and $70,000 since Jan. That's a big amount. Supply in that range nearly doubled - from about 1 million BTC at the start of the year to 1.85 million now.
When a lot of Bitcoin piles up at one price, it creates what experts call a support zone. Holders at that level have a cost base they won't sell below. That makes the $60,000 to $70,000 range a kind of floor.
Above that floor, things are thin. Only about 400,000 BTC sits between $70,000 and $80,000. That "supply gap" means if Bitcoin moves through $72,000 to $74,000 with force, there's not much sell pressure until $80,000.
This wasn't one big buy. The data shows steady accumulation across Q1 2026:
By late February, over 400,000 BTC had been bought in the $60K-$70K range. By mid-March, that figure grew to nearly 600,000. And as of this week, it's crossed 850,000.
Bitcoin is at $72,634 as of Wednesday. That means most dip buyers are now in profit. In crypto, profit holders tend to hold longer - which tightens supply more.
Smart money didn't wait for a ceasefire. It was buying while everyone else was selling.
