BTC short-term holders ‘likely taking on more risk’ as realized cap drops by $6B

Bitcoin short-term holders are “likely taking on more risk” amid long-term holders “likely taking profits,” according to a crypto analyst.

Short-term holders seem to be turning bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) as Q4 2024 begins, despite concerns that October is not off to a flying start. Over the past seven days, short-term holders realized capitalization has jumped by $6 billion.

Short-term holders — those who have held their Bitcoin for less than 155 days —  are “likely taking on more risk or increasing their buying positions,” CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha argued in an Oct. 5 analyst note.

He pointed out that the seven-day change in STH realized cap — an onchain metric that values each Bitcoin based on the price it was last moved — moved from -$17 billion to -$11 billion, representing a $6 billion “sharp increase” in the cohort’s Bitcoin value.

US jobs report signals fewer rate cuts, still bullish for BTC: Grayscale

The bullish jobs report adds fuel to hopes for an “Uptober” and fourth-quarter rally in Bitcoin’s price.

The strong United States September jobs report signals a possible slowdown in interest rate cuts but is still bullish for Bitcoin (BTC) as investors warm to riskier assets, Zach Pandl, Grayscale’s head of research, told Cointelegraph.

“Conversation about Fed rate cuts and debate about larger government deficits continue alongside solid economic growth, which should be net-positive for investors’ risk appetite and may reintroduce inflation risk in the medium-term,” Pandl said.
