Data on the chain shows that short-term holders have recently jumped in Bitcoin balances. That’s what the price of BTC may mean.
Bitcoin Short-term Holder Supply Registered
In a new post on X, market intelligence platform Intotheblock talks about how supply of different bitcoin queues changes. The groups in question have been split according to the holding time.
Analytics companies classify investors into these groups: “traders” who bought coins in the past month, “cruisers” who did so one to twelve months ago, and the “Hodlers” have held it for more than a year.
Generally, the longer an investor holds coins, the less likely it is to sell them in the future. Therefore, the holder’s determination becomes stronger because one goes from trader to Hodler.
Now, here is the chart shared by Intotheblock, which shows the trend of net change in balances held by each group in the past decade:

As shown in the above chart, Bitcoin traders recently registered positive value on the indicator, indicating that the balance held by the group has risen. This growth in the queue has arrived as BTC has been witnessing price rallies.
Whenever the supply of traders is observed to rise, this means that members of one or two older populations are destroying their dormant state. Given that the latest surge coincides with the rise in asset prices, this may indicate profits in the market.
Judging from the charts, Hoddle has also seen positive changes recently, which means these diamond hands are continuing to stay tight. This makes cruisers the only group that can be responsible for sales, and in fact, changes in negative balances will be confirmed.
Cruisers are more determined than traders, but even they are prone to selling panic sales because they don’t achieve the same unwavering as the Hodlers, so their latest release may not be surprising.
While profitability may not be a positive signal for Bitcoin, the increase in traders’ supply from a more bullish perspective may be: This could mean new demand flows into the industry.
This seems to be the case in the rallies that took place in the last few months of 2024, with traders changing supply more and more.
“If this influx persists, it supports the idea that the current move is not just a relief rally, but could be the beginning of a broader uptrend,” the analyst firm noted.
