Short-term holders seem to be taking profits less frequently, with metrics showing that the flow of BTC into exchanges from this group has sharply decreased in the past two weeks. Initially, when Bitcoin approached $111,000, the profit flow was around 49.5K BTC, but this dramatically dropped to just 3.4K BTC as the price settled around $108,000. This shift indicates a depletion of short-term sellers.
Conversely, long-term holders have shifted their strategy towards accumulation. Since April, long-term holders have shown a positive net position change, acquiring about 535K BTC. This trend of whales holding rather than selling aligns with previous instances that led to price rallies, signaling a potential bullish phase ahead.
