Updated: Jan 03 2026- Holder Behavior Shift: Bitcoin long-term holders have significantly slowed their selling activity, with 30-day net position changes indicating a shift to net accumulation, marking the end of the largest sell-side pressure since 2019, which may lay the groundwork for market stabilization.
- Supply Pressure Change: Recent data shows a reduction in selling pressure from long-term holders, with the market not experiencing aggressive buying but rather stabilizing due to the absence of large sellers, suggesting potential compression in price volatility.
- Market Context Analysis: The supply-side shift occurs alongside exchange-traded funds absorbing Bitcoin supply, corporate treasury buyers increasing exposure during price dips, and muted retail participation, indicating a transition period rather than a market top.
- Future Trend Outlook: The easing of long-term holder sell pressure is viewed as a signal for the end of a corrective cycle, and while short-term price fluctuations may remain limited, this significantly improves conditions for future trend development.
