Jakarta, Pintu News – Bitcoin’s (BTC) volatility is often regarded as a double-edged sword; on one hand it provides huge profits, on the other hand it holds equally huge risks. Although Bitcoin (BTC) has not touched the $110,000 price since the last 120 days, there is an interesting market dynamic going on. Investors are now starting to lock in their profits to avoid a deeper drop, but this is not entirely a negative impact.

Since November 2023, Long-Term Holders (LTHs) who have owned Bitcoin (BTC) between 18 months and 3 years have sold more than 2 million coins, with total realized gains reaching around $138 billion. The drop in supply from a peak of 4.254 million to just 2.176 million Bitcoin (BTC) signals a clear distribution phase, similar to what happened in previous bear markets.
In 2022, a similar pattern occurred and was followed by a 63% annual decline from Bitcoin’s (BTC) opening price of $46,017. However, what sets the current cycle apart is the outcome. Despite similar levels of distribution and profit-taking, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) continues to show a positive trend, with a rise of almost 200% during the same phase. This suggests that there is a change in the way the market responds to selling and volatility.

Analysis from data-driven experts suggests that up to 500,000 Bitcoin (BTC) may enter the market towards the end of this year. This signals a significant liquidity outflow wave that is forming beneath the surface. According to AMBCrypto, this release will put Bitcoin (BTC) volatility under renewed pressure, testing the market’s ability to absorb large-scale distributions without disrupting the broader uptrend.
However, with institutional and corporate interest in Bitcoin (BTC) now surpassing the levels seen in the 2023-2024 cycle, this volatility may no longer be seen as a threat. Instead, it could be another opportunity. If history is any guide, Bitcoin (BTC) may once again show its resilience, providing a strategic opportunity for investors to step in and set the stage for further price discovery.
By monitoring this group of long-term holders, investors can gain important insights into the future direction of the Bitcoin (BTC) market. While the potential for massive selling could create volatility, current market conditions and growing interest from institutional and corporate parties could help stabilize and even push the price of Bitcoin (BTC) to higher levels.
