Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Approaching Peak Pain As BTC Trades Below $30,000: Analytics Firm Glassnode

Analytics firm Glassnode is revealing short-term Bitcoin (BTC) holders are sitting on losses as the flagship crypto asset trades below a key psychological level.

Glassnode says nearly all the short-term holders (STH), or those who have held Bitcoin for a period of fewer than 155 days, are counting losses.

“At the moment, almost 58% of the circulating supply is in profit while in the last three market capitulations this metric fell down to <50% levels. STH-Supply in profit is just 2.2% meaning the short-term holders are almost entirely at a loss.”

The crypto analytics firm says long-term holders (LTH) are holding the lion’s share of the profits in the prevailing bear market.

According to Glassnode, Bitcoin’s short-term holders are currently holding less than 10% of the profit in the market, as was the case during the previous two bear markets. The figure is based on the 14-period displaced moving average (DMA) of the Supply in Profit Held By Long-Term Holders metric.

The long-term holders, on the other hand, hold over 90% of the profit in the market as Bitcoin hovers below $30,000.

“In the last two extended bear markets, the 14 DMA of this metric broke above the 90% threshold line.

This means under the psychological pressure of bearish price action, short-term holders were holding < 10% of the profit in the market.

With the recent leg down to sub $30,000 range, this metric crossed over the 90% threshold. Above this level, STHs have essentially reached a near-peak pain threshold, with almost no unrealized profits held while LTHs dominate the remaining profitable supply.”

Bitcoin is trading for $29,682 at time of writing.
