Bitcoin Faces Short-Term Holder Pressure: Is Further Decline Looming?

Recent volatility has shaken confidence in the crypto market, with Bitcoin experiencing a significant decline of over 6.88% in the last 24 hours. This drop has been driven largely by short-term holders (STH) who are exiting positions to minimize losses as selling pressure mounts. πŸ“ˆ The STH-SOPR has dropped below 1.0, reaching 0.98, indicating a growing sense of panic among short-term investors and a potential for further price drops. πŸ“‰ πŸ’° πŸ“ˆ

Analysts suggest that this decline stems from both retail and large holder activity. A surge in selling activity, as evidenced by positive exchange netflows and a sharp rise in large holder’s netflow to exchange netflow ratio (up to 0.53%), suggests these market players are contributing to the decline. πŸ“‰

The heightened selling sentiment has resulted in increased Bitcoin supply, increasing its stock-to-flow ratio to a level not seen in recent weeks, potentially setting the stage for further price declines. πŸ“‰ ⚠️
