LTH Distribution Phase

Definition

LTH Distribution Phase refers to a period when long-term holders (LTHs) of a cryptocurrency begin selling their assets into the market. This phase typically occurs after a significant price appreciation, as LTHs realize profits accumulated over extended holding periods. It is characterized by an increase in the movement of older coins on-chain, indicating a transfer of supply from strong hands to newer, often less experienced buyers. Such distribution can precede a market top or a period of price consolidation.
