HODL wave analysis is an on-chain metric that segments the total circulating supply of a cryptocurrency, typically Bitcoin, based on the last time coins moved from one address to another. This analysis visualizes the proportion of coins held by different age groups, from short-term speculators to long-term holders. It provides insights into market sentiment and investor behavior across various time horizons.
