Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply Sees First Uptick Since April

Recent on-chain data indicates a shift in the behavior of Bitcoin investors holding their assets for over six months, with an increase in dormant supply for the first time since April.

  • Charles Edwards from Capriole Investments highlighted this change, noting an uptick in the 6-month inactive Bitcoin supply.
  • This group, known as long-term holders (LTHs), had been selling during recent months, especially during last month's market crash.
  • The current increase suggests a potential shift back towards holding rather than selling.
  • An increase in the LTH supply doesn't mean immediate buying but reflects past accumulation maturing into the long-term category.
  • This trend is generally positive, hinting at stronger HODLing behavior similar to patterns observed before previous price rallies.

Currently, Bitcoin's price has recovered slightly to $87,500 after briefly dropping below $84,000.
