Bitcoin Market Analysis
According to analysts, short-term holders, who typically keep coins on their balance for a limited time, are sending significant amounts of cryptocurrency to exchanges. Data shows a consistent selling trend over the past 15 days.
“In comparison, long-term holders have moved only about 529 BTC per day, indicating fear or profit-taking among short-term players, while long-term confidence remains unchanged,” the report states.
Holders with between 100 BTC and 1000 BTC are selling an average of 402 BTC, while those with over 1000 coins are realizing only 70 BTC. Analysts believe that the real selling pressure is created by retailers and medium-term investors, as well as short-term holders. They characterized this process as a classic case of “shaking out weak hands” from the market.
Current Market Situation
“Against the backdrop of Bitcoin’s sideways movement and decreasing volatility, such analysis helps to understand that the current correction is not a mass exit of ‘smart money’, but rather a reaction from nervous short-term and medium-term investors,” experts concluded.
Recall that at the end of March 2025, CryptoQuant highlighted key price levels of Bitcoin that are important for investors.
