The short-term holder ratio is an on-chain metric that measures the proportion of a cryptocurrency’s supply held by addresses that acquired the asset relatively recently, typically within the last 155 days. This ratio indicates the prevalence of newer market participants who are often more sensitive to price fluctuations and prone to selling during downturns. It serves as an indicator of market sentiment and potential volatility.
Context
Crypto news and on-chain analysts frequently refer to the short-term holder ratio to assess market risk and identify potential capitulation events. A high ratio can suggest a fragile market, as these holders are more likely to sell, whereas a declining ratio often indicates that assets are moving into stronger hands. Understanding this metric provides insight into the psychological state of the market and its susceptibility to price swings.
