Bitcoin Market Shifts to Distribution Phase as Short-Term Holders Face Losses
- Market Transition Signal: According to Bitfinex's report, the Bitcoin market has shifted from an accumulation phase to a distribution phase, with early investors consistently selling their holdings amid broader market weakness, indicating a cautious market sentiment that could lead to further price declines.
- Increased Selling Pressure: The report shows that the Spot Volume Delta has turned negative after a period of strong buying, indicating that selling pressure now outweighs demand, a situation that typically leads large holders to gradually reduce their exposure, further destabilizing the market.
- Short-Term Holder Losses: The average cost basis for short-term holders is below the market average of $77,800, meaning a significant portion of recent capital is now at an unrealized loss, which historically creates additional selling pressure during price rebounds, impacting the market's recovery potential.
- Defensive Market Outlook: The report suggests that the market is likely to maintain a defensive posture until demand recovers meaningfully, and without a clear catalyst to reignite buying interest, the current distribution trend could persist, keeping Bitcoin prices under pressure.
