Bitcoin is currently trading above $107,000 following a recent peak that saw the asset touch a new all-time high above $111,000. Although this marks a 3.9% drop from its highest level, the broader monthly trend remains positive, with BTC still recording a gain of over 10% in the last 30 days. The market, however, has shifted its attention from price movement to on-chain dynamics, particularly the behavior of new and long-term holders. Related Reading: Bitcoin Surges With Low Retail Interest – Is A Second Wave Coming? Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Selling, New Entrants Still Cautious On-chain analyst Avocado Onchain, writing on CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, examined Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) data to assess investor trends during this stage of the cycle. In a post titled “UTXO Age Band Analysis: Sluggish Inflow of New Investors May Limit Bitcoin’s Upside,” he explored whether BTC’s continued rally can be sustained without fresh capital inflows from newer market participants. His findings suggest that while older coins are being sold, the inflow of newer investors remains low, a factor that has historically limited momentum in previous cycles. The UTXO age distribution reveals that a significant portion of the BTC supply remains with holders who have kept their assets for over six months. The 6–12 month age band has increased, suggesting a large share of market participants still fall into the mid- to long-term holding category. Historically, when the proportion of these holders started to shrink, it often preceded major tops in Bitcoin’s price cycle, driven by a transition of coins from long-term to new investors. However, despite Bitcoin reaching new highs, the percentage of UTXOs held by investors with a holding period of less than one month remains well below the historical threshold seen near previous market tops. During earlier bull cycles, new investor participation often surged past 50%. Currently, that figure sits around 20%, even lower than the peak levels during this recent rally. Avocado Onchain warns that without a notable increase in participation from newer investors, the market may struggle to maintain upward momentum. Large Holders Accumulate as Retail Stays on Sidelines While retail inflows appear to be lacking, large-scale accumulation is continuing in the background. A recent update from CryptoQuant on X highlighted that Bitcoin addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC, excluding exchanges and miners, have been steadily increasing. Large holders are accumulating. Addresses holding 1K–10K BTC (excl. exchanges & miners) are rising, a sign of growing investor confidence.

Im Zuge des US Präsidentschaftswahlkampfs hat sich Donald Trump ganz klar auf die Seite der Krypto-Befürworter gestellt. Schnell kam er mit der Idee der Bitcoin Reserve – man wolle zudem die USA zur Hauptstadt des Bitcoin machen. Als dann die ersten Details zur geplanten Reserve nach seiner Wahl präsentiert wurden, war die Krypto-Branche aber sichtlich enttäuscht: Trump hat einen Plan präsentiert, der nicht ganz so klang, wie das noch im Wahlkampf posaunt wurde. Trumps erster Plan zur Bitcoin Reserve Als Donald Trump am 6. März die U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve per Dekret angeordnet hat, wurde auf den Weg gegeben, dass nur die von den US Behörden konfiszierten Coins aus Straf- oder Zivilverfahren veranlagt werden sollen. Trump betonte, ein aktives Zukaufen werde es nicht geben, weil man die Amerikaner nicht belasten wolle. Wenn man Bitcoin kaufen will, dann nur haushaltsneutral, also ohne die Staatsbürger zu belasten. Im Rahmen der aktuellen Bitcoin Konferenz in Las Vegas gab es nun erste Details, dass dieser Plan nun doch in eine andere Richtung gehen könnte. So wurden Finanzminister Scott Bessent und Handelsminister Howard Lutnick bereits von Trump persönlich informiert, man solle haushaltsneutrale Strategien schaffen, damit Bitcoins zugekauft werden können. Auch David Sacks, der Krypto-Berater von Trump, gab bekannt, dass es nun zu Änderungen bei der Bitcoin Reserve kommen könnte: „Die Executive Order zur Einrichtung der strategischen Bitcoin Reserve erlaubt es der Regierung, mehr zu kaufen, wenn dies haushaltsneutral geschehen kann. Konkret: Wenn wir Howard Lutnik oder Scott Bessent davon überzeugen können, welche zu kaufen, und sie herausfinden können, wie sie es finanzieren, ohne eine neue Steuer oder ohne die Schulden zu erhöhen, dann könnten wir potenziell mehr Bitcoin erwerben.” Von wo will die USA das Geld für Zukäufe bekommen? Welche Möglichkeiten könnte es geben, dass die USA nun aktiv Bitcoin kauft, ohne das Budget zu belasten? Finanzierungsquellen könnten unter anderem überschüssige Gelder aus anderen Regierungsprogrammen sein. Die Analysten der Research Firma K33 haben bereits schon Vorschläge geäußert, welche haushaltsneutrale Strategien möglich seien, um Bitcoins kaufen zu können: Man könnte beispielsweise Sonderziehungsrechten des IWF verkaufen oder mit Überschüssen aus dem Stabilisierungsfonds, der vom Finanzministerium verwaltet wird, Bitcoin kaufen. Auf diesen Wegen könnte man frisches Geld bekommen, ohne dass die Amerikaner belastet würden. „Ich kann nichts versprechen, aber es gibt einen Weg, das zu tun“, so David Sacks. „Die Frage ist nur, können wir entweder das Finanzministerium oder das Handelsministerium dafür begeistern? Denn wenn sie das tun und herausfinden können, wie sie es finanzieren, haben sie tatsächlich die präsidentielle Genehmigung bereits in der Tasche.“ Die Homepage von Bitcoin Bull aufrufen Bitcoin Bull würde ebenfalls von aktiven Zukäufen in die Bitcoin Reserve profitieren Die neuen Pläne, dass man nun eine haushaltsneutrale Stragie erstellen wolle, um Bitcoins zukaufen zu können, freut einerseits jene, die in Bitcoin investiert haben, andererseits auch die Fans von Bitcon Bull, die bereits BTCBULL Token gekauft haben. Denn aktive Zukäufe werden wohl den Preis der Kryptowährung nach oben treiben – hier profitieren jene, die Bitcoin und BTCBULL haben. Bei Bitcoin Bull handelt es sich um ein Projekt im Initial Coin Offering, das sich in erster Linie an der Kryptowährung Bitcoin orientiert. Springt der Preis des Bitcoin auf 125.000 US Dollar, findet der erste Token Burn statt. Durch die Verknappung des Gesamtangebots kann eine Preissteigerung möglich sein, vor allem, wenn die Nachfrage bleibt oder höher wird. Bei 150.000 US Dollar gibt es dann die erste Belohnung für die BTCBULL Investoren. Abhängig von der Menge an BTCBULL Token, die gehalten werden, fällt die Höhe der Belohnung aus. Überspringt der Bitcoin die 175.000 US Dollar, dann folgt der nächste Token Burn, beim Überspringen der 200.000 US Dollar die nächste Belohnung. Überspringt der Bitcoin dann die 225.000 US Dollar-Hürde, gibt es den letzten Token Burn und beim Erreichen der 250.000 US Dollar die letzte Belohnung. Derzeit gibt es BTCBULL Token nur über die Plattform selbst. Erst nach dem Ende des Presales kann BTCBULL auch über offizielle Kryptobörsen gekauft werden.

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade close to its new all-time high (ATH) of $111,980, set earlier this week. While some argue that the top digital asset may be running out of steam, Binance exchange flow data suggests that certain investor groups are reluctant to sell their BTC just yet, expecting further upside. Bitcoin Inflows To Binance Suggest Further Upside Possible According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by on-chain analyst Darkfost, analyzing BTC inflows to Binance from both short-term holders (STHs) and long-term holders (LTHs) can offer meaningful insights into selling pressure and its potential impact on price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Eyeing $112,000 After Bullish Double Bottom Breakout, Analyst Says Darkfost noted that STHs tend to be the most reactive and emotionally driven investor group when it comes to market movements. The analyst shared several examples from past market cycles. For instance, during the price correction in August 2024 when BTC dropped from around $69,000 to $53,000, the STH cohort sent more than 12,000 BTC to Binance. Similarly, the group offloaded over 14,000 BTC onto Binance during the tariff-induced panic in early March 2025. However, current behavior differs. Amid the ongoing rally, selling pressure from STHs remains “very moderate,” with only 8,000 BTC sent to Binance so far. LTHs are exhibiting a similar trend. At the 2024 market peak, LTHs deposited 626 BTC to Binance, and 254 BTC before the previous top. In contrast, just 86 BTC have been deposited by LTHs during this current rally. The analyst concluded: Whether we’re talking about STH or LTH, inflows to Binance are not concerning at the moment. However, this should still be considered in the context of current demand, which remains relatively strong for now. Although the demand for BTC remains healthy as of now, some warning signs are starting to emerge. In an X post, noted crypto analyst Ali Martinez offered commentary on Bitcoin’s current range-bound price action, warning that if it drops below the $106,800 support level, a sharp breakdown may follow. No Panic Selling Observed Yet Historically, when BTC hits or approaches a new ATH, it tends to trigger a wave of profit-taking, leading to substantial selling pressure. However, this has not been observed during the current cycle. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rebound Signals Healthier Bull Market Without Overheating, Analyst Says Recent analysis shows that both STH and LTH cohorts are sitting on elevated unrealized profits, yet there are no strong signs of selling. Additionally, exchange withdrawals are on the rise, suggesting that investors may be anticipating further price appreciation. Another bullish indicator is the relatively low level of retail participation in this rally – often a sign that the market hasn’t yet reached euphoric conditions.

Bitcoin (BTC) has recently experienced a slight slowdown after its impressive upward run, trading at $108,012 at the time of writing. Over the past week, Bitcoin has recorded a 3.1% decline, indicating a moderate pullback from recent highs. However, despite this short-term downtrend, the asset continues to hold steady above significant support levels, suggesting minimal selling pressure from market participants. Amid the current pullback phase, analysts have started to express caution regarding Bitcoin’s immediate outlook. In particular, one CryptoQuant analyst known by the handle Crazzyblockk highlighted the emergence of an elevated market risk signal through the “Standardized 60-Day Realized Cap Volatility (RCV)” metric. This indicator, frequently monitored by investors to assess risk levels, has reportedly crossed a critical historical threshold. Related Reading: Bitcoin $106,800 Support Retest To Determine Next Move – Breakout Or Breakdown Ahead? Understanding the Elevated Risk Signal The 60-Day Standardized RCV, as explained by Crazzyblockk, measures the variance between Bitcoin’s realized capitalization, essentially the cumulative value at which all coins last moved, and its market capitalization. This metric is normalized to account for volatility, thus helping investors detect significant shifts in market sentiment. Currently, the Standardized RCV value has reached 1.9, surpassing the 1.5 threshold traditionally viewed as indicative of high market risk. Historically, when the 60-Day Standardized RCV exceeds values between 1.5 and 1.9, it has often preceded local market peaks or considerable corrections. According to the analyst, these elevated readings indicate periods when investor behavior, characterized by increased profit-taking and speculative activities, diverges notably from Bitcoin’s fundamental valuation. Implications for Bitcoin Investors The current Standardized RCV reading suggests that Bitcoin’s market might be approaching a point of heightened caution. Although this indicator alone is not a definitive sell signal, it does suggest investors should adopt a more conservative risk management approach, especially in regard to new positions or leveraged trades. This cautious stance aligns with historical data from other widely monitored metrics like the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio and the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), both of which currently reflect similarly heightened risk levels. For investors, the present scenario necessitates careful consideration of market conditions before making strategic moves. The Standardized RCV indicator serves as a precise gauge to navigate market volatility, advising investors to consider reducing exposure, tightening stop-losses, or potentially waiting for a clearer alignment of price with underlying fundamentals before making substantial commitments. Crazzyblockk noted: Now is a time for risk management, not euphoria. Investors may consider reducing exposure, tightening stops, or awaiting a retest of fundamentals before re-entry. Standardized RCV continues to be a precision tool in navigating crypto volatility. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView
