Okay, Bitcoin‘s Having a Midlife Crisis! 📉 (Short-Term Holders Sell Off!)

Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Supply Dynamics Shift As Net <a href="https://bancki.ru/posi">Position</a> Change Turns Negative

So, Bitcoin, that digital thing everyone’s still pretending to understand, had a “remarkable bullish performance” on Monday. Apparently, it’s like when your grandma wins at bingo – surprising, but ultimately meaningless. 🙄 It’s inching towards its all-time high, which it hit back in May. Ah, May. Simpler times. Anyway, despite Bitcoin’s little upward jaunt, the short-term investors are getting cold feet. Or cold digital wallets, whatever.

A Bearish Behavior From Bitcoin Short-Term Holders (Or, “Why Are the Kids Selling?”)

Bitcoin, bless its heart, has managed to claw its way back above key resistance levels, like the \$109,000 price level. That’s a lot of zeroes! During this thrilling rollercoaster ride, some on-chain expert named Darkfost (sounds like a rejected Batman villain) pointed out that the short-term holders, or “retail investors” (aka, the people who panic the easiest), are losing interest.

Apparently, when Bitcoin dipped below \$80,000, these short-term holders got the vapors. 💨 According to Darkfost, this “worrying behavior” is reflected in something called the “STH Net Position Change metric” going negative. I don’t know what that means, and frankly, I don’t want to. But it sounds bad!

This shift into “bearish zone” (which I assume is next to the friend zone) means the younger investors are selling like it’s Black Friday for Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the long-term holders are all, “Nah, I’m good.” This move by the short-term holders might mean “trouble ahead” for Bitcoin. Or it might mean nothing. Who knows! 🤷‍♀️

Darkfost (still hate that name) revealed on X (formerly Twitter, still a dumpster fire) that this negative trend has been going on for a month. Even though Bitcoin’s price is still above \$100,000, these guys are bailing. It’s like leaving a party before the cops show up – smart, but also kind of a buzzkill.

The data shows this metric is approaching levels seen during the last correction, after a whopping -833,000 BTC were shifted. Since then, these short-term holders have become “considerably more sensitive.” Which is another way of saying they’re jumpy and prone to overreacting. Like me before my first cup of coffee. ☕

As for the recent dip around \$100,000, Darkfost says it caused “fresh anxiety” among these investors. So, the expert says we need to keep an eye on these guys to figure out where Bitcoin’s going next. Because apparently, Bitcoin’s future is determined by the whims of easily spooked millennials. Great.

Fading Retail Holders Buying Pressure (Or, “Is This Thing On?”)

Bitcoin may have rallied, but the short-term holders are responding with a “persistent sell-off.” On-chain analyst Boris (another great name) says that while these guys are dumping their coins, the long-term holders are buying them up. This indicates a “potential inflection” in Bitcoin’s structure. Which sounds like something you’d hear in a yoga class. 🧘‍♀️

For the past month, these retail addresses have been using the price increase as an excuse to sell. And one day in particular, they sold over 592,000 BTC. That’s a lot of digital money! It’s like when I try to clean out my closet – one day of intense activity, followed by weeks of procrastination.

These actions suggest they’re expecting the price to go down. But since the long-term holders are buying, it means this rally isn’t just “speculative,” but “structurally supported by strong hands.” So, basically, the adults are in charge now. Or at least, the people who pretend to be adults on the internet. 🤔

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you need anything else. 😊
