A Bitcoin supply standoff describes a market condition where a significant portion of available Bitcoin is held by long-term investors, creating a scarcity of sellable coins. This situation reduces market liquidity, leading to potential price volatility with smaller trading volumes. It indicates strong conviction among holders, limiting the circulating supply. Such a standoff can precede upward price movements if demand remains consistent.
