If someone told you that investors in the stock market would be offloaded by their beloved handling, you would probably give it a interpretation as a sign of an upcoming market collapse.
The narrative, however, differs from the crypto market, where such sale indicates bullishness, according to analysts observing historical trends in supply holding long -term investors or purses holding coins without down to 155 days or more than five months.
“Based on our review, the sharp decline in the long-term supply of the owner (purple line) is often in conjunction with strong bitcoin rallies (white line), as seen in Q1 and Q4 of 2024. Until ‘ t The owners who hold continued to reduce their balances, Bitcoin remains at risk of a short squeeze on upside down, “Markus Thielen, founder of 10x researchsaid in a report shared with CoinDesk.
The total supply held by these wallets dropped to nearly 13 million BTCs. According to Glassnode’s analytics firm, more than 1 million BTC changed hands during a recent price increase above $ 100,000 while short-term businessmen snapped the owner’s long-term distribution.
“During the recent rally above $ 100k, the 1.1M BTC moved from long-term to short-term holders, representing a wonderful outflow of demand that absorbs this supply at prices More than $ 90k, ” Glassnode said In its weekly report.
Note, however, that the speed of which long -term holders sells slow down. This slowing is evident from the monthly rate of change in the long -term to the short -term ratio of the holder’s supply. It is not as damaging as earlier this month, indicating a more measured approach to selling long -term holders.

The BTC number held in purses tied to centralized exchanges denied 2.7 million BTCs from more than three million about six months ago, according to Glassnode.
The release of the BTC from the exchanges, resulting in the reduced availability of coins for fast sale, is widely viewed as a bullish indicator. The dynamics, however, have changed since the debut of ETF areas in the US a year ago.
“While many define this as a form of shock supply caused by a mass of coins retracted by individual investors – possibly creating upward price pressure – we believe that most of this denial is derived In the coins that are resisting ETF wallets managed by custodians such as Coinbase, “Glassnode said.
In other words, these coins end with an ETF, an alternative investment vehicle that is liquid or active and can be purchased and sold quickly as actual coins.
Each glassnode, the exchange balance is adjusted for coins transferred to alternative vehicles is over 3 million BTCs.
