Bitcoin has climbed above a key price zone that analysts had flagged as a major obstacle — and that move is drawing fresh attention to who actually holds the coin. Related Reading: Swiss Bitcoin Reserve Effort Withdrawn After Resistance From Central Bank Long-Term Holders Absorb More Supply Around 830,000 BTC has left short-term trader wallets in recent months, pushing the share of Bitcoin held by long-term addresses to 78%, up from 74% in the previous cycle. Data from on-chain tracking account Alphractal shows the shift is one of the largest recorded in recent memory. As more supply gets locked away in long-term wallets, the amount available for active trading keeps shrinking. That tightening supply tends to work in favor of prices during periods of steady demand. When fewer coins are circulating, selling pressure during price dips tends to be weaker. Reports indicate that long-term holders have been absorbing supply consistently relative to price movements, which has contributed to thinner liquidity across the market. ????????.????% ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????-???????????????? ????????????????????. ???????? ???????????????? ????????.????%. That 4.2 percentage-point shift = roughly 830,000 BTC migrated from short-term to long-term cohort over the cycle. STH conviction is crumbling, LTH conviction… pic.twitter.com/aL8pTSk3Js — Alphractal (@Alphractal) May 9, 2026 Price Structure Points To A Range With High Stakes Bitcoin recently broke through a resistance zone between $78,000 and $80,000 — a range that had acted as a bearish block. According to an analyst, that zone has now flipped to support, and the next target to the upside sits at $90,000. But the setup carries risk on both sides. If that newly established support level fails to hold, a pullback toward $68,000 — and possibly as low as $60,000 — becomes a real possibility. Reports note that tighter liquidity zones increase the chance of sharp moves at key price levels, making the $78,000 area especially critical for short-term direction. A rejection at $82,000 could also be enough to swing momentum back toward the bears, according to the same analysis. Higher Timeframe Still Shows Caution Zooming out, the picture is less clear. Bitcoin remains in a corrective phase after reaching an all-time high of $120,000, wi th lower highs and lower lows forming despite brief rallies. The price is still trading below resistance at $97,000, a level analysts say would need to be reclaimed to signal a stronger shift in trend. Related Reading: XRP Market Now Controlled By Whales?

According to the latest on-chain data, the Ethereum-native iteration of USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin, has just witnessed its largest exchange outflow in recent months. 1.29 Billion USDT Flow Out Of Crypto Exchanges In a May 9th post on the X platform, blockchain analytics firm Santiment revealed that USDT on the Ethereum network recently recorded its largest flow out of exchanges in months. Around 1.29 billion stablecoins (the highest since February) were transferred out of exchanges on Friday, May 8th. This on-chain observation is based on the change in the Exchange Flow Balance indicator, which measures the net amount of tokens moving into and out of centralized exchange addresses. Related Reading: This 1 Chart Explains Why Bitcoin Is Winning And Ethereum Is Losing Right Now A spike in the Exchange Flow Balance metric indicates that more tokens (USDT, in this case) are flowing to centralized exchanges. On the other hand, when the indicator declines, it suggests that investors are withdrawing assets from these trading platforms. Santiment explained the significance of investors moving their USDT away from exchanges, noting that this would ordinarily mean they are withdrawing their buying power from trading platforms where they can use it for instant cryptocurrency purchases. On the surface, this reduction of buying power (or capital) on exchanges is a bearish signal for crypto markets. However, the analytics firm believes that the significant USDT outflows (of this reported magnitude) suggest that institutional investors are moving capital to self-custody wallets, DeFi protocols, or OTC (over-the-counter) desks ahead of larger planned transactions. Therefore, capital is believed to be flowing out of the ecosystem, not entirely, but being repositioned for even larger purposes. Santiment also highlighted the pattern often surrounding exchange outflow spikes of this magnitude. For instance, as observed in the chart below, the Bitcoin price witnessed a mini-pullback over the subsequent two weeks following the 3.72 billion USDT outflow on February 9. What’s more interesting is that this pullback birthed the buying opportunity that has seen the Bitcoin price jump by more than 30% in the past few months. Santiment concluded in the social media post: Whether this current capital re-enters exchanges as buying pressure in the near term is the key variable to monitor. If USDT begins flowing back onto exchanges in the coming days, it would signal that deployment into crypto assets is imminent. Crypto Market Capitalization As of this writing, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization stands at around $2.66 trillion, up nearly 4% over the past week.
