Updated: Jan 01 2026- Long-Term Holder Behavior Shift: Since July 16, the supply of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) has steadily decreased, with only about 10,700 BTC net transitioning into LTH status recently, indicating reduced selling pressure that may signal an impending price rebound.
- Short-Term Holders Continue to Hold: In contrast, short-term holders (STHs) have not significantly altered their Bitcoin holdings, reflecting market divergence regarding Bitcoin's future trajectory, which could impact overall price volatility.
- Price Rebound Potential: According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin is currently priced at $88,589, needing only $37,000 to reach its all-time high of $126,296, with analysts viewing this correction as a healthy shakeout that may provide buying opportunities for future gains.
- Market Sentiment Uncertainty: Despite LTHs halting sales, extreme fear among investors over the past 30 days suggests uncertainty regarding Bitcoin's next direction, which could influence short-term price movements.
