Long term holder selling refers to the divestment of digital assets by investors who have held them for an extended duration, typically over 155 days. This activity often occurs during periods of significant price appreciation, as these experienced holders realize accumulated profits. It can indicate a shift in market sentiment or a natural response to reaching price targets. Such selling contributes to market supply and can influence short-term price movements.
Context
On-chain analysts closely monitor long term holder selling as a critical indicator of market tops or periods of profit distribution. While it can exert downward pressure, sustained selling by this cohort often suggests a mature market cycle where early adopters are cashing out. A key discussion involves distinguishing between healthy profit taking and a more concerning exodus of established participants. Future analysis will consider the impact of new institutional long-term holders on these patterns.
