Holder Accumulation Phase

Definition

A holder accumulation phase is a period characterized by a sustained increase in the holdings of a particular digital asset by long-term investors or “holders.” During this phase, market participants typically acquire assets with the intention of retaining them for extended durations, often despite short-term price fluctuations. This activity suggests conviction in the asset’s future value and can precede significant price appreciation. It reflects a shift from speculative trading to long-term positioning.
