Short Term Holder Pain

Definition

Short Term Holder Pain describes a market condition where recently acquired digital assets are held at a loss. This typically occurs during market downturns when investors who purchased cryptocurrencies within the last few months see their holdings decrease in value. It can lead to increased selling pressure as these holders may liquidate their positions to avoid further losses, contributing to market volatility. Analyzing this metric helps gauge the capitulation potential within the market.
