Short-Term Holders Dominate Sell-Side Pressure on Bitcoin

A recent analysis by CryptoQuant's TeddyVision has shed light on the underlying dynamics of the current Bitcoin market. According to the study, short-term holders (STH) are driving the sell-side pressure on Bitcoin, despite the price remaining within a narrow range.

The STHs, who have been holding their coins for 0-12 months, are depositing them into spot exchanges at an alarming rate. This has led to a significant supply of coins entering the market, putting downward pressure on prices. However, it's worth noting that longer-term holders (LTH), who have held their coins for over 12 months, remain relatively inactive.

Despite this increased sell-side pressure, Bitcoin has managed to maintain its price range, suggesting a growing resilience in the market. The Coinbase Premium Index also indicates that market conditions are stabilizing, with the index retracting from negative extremes and no longer responding to downward pressure.
