Short-Term Holders Exit The Market
According to an analysis of Bitcoin holder cohorts using data from the CryptoQuant platform, the supply of Bitcoin held by short-term holders has declined substantially since the beginning of the month. Although this contributed to a Bitcoin price decline during this timeframe, it is not necessarily bad for the crypto moving forward. This notable decline is visible in purple bars in the chat below, with every period of price downturns highlighted by an increase in short-term holder selloffs.
The Bitcoin price, which ended September around $65,000, kicked off October with a price dip amidst broader market tensions. This, in turn, led to a 7.5% Bitcoin price dip until it bottomed at $60,100. Notably, the chart highlights that this most recent decline to the $60,000 level coincided with the emergence of more purple bars, revealing that the selloff by short-term holders played a significant role in the price decline.#TrumpTariffs #bitcoin
