Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Bitcoin’s Long-Term Holders Hit Cyclical Low as Sell Pressure Finally Eases Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/bitcoin/32100563/ Long-term holder (LTH) supply reached a cyclical low on Nov. 21, the same day bitcoin bottomed out around $80,000. With the bitcoin price now back at $90,000, about 15% higher from the low, the data suggests that most spot-driven sell pressure has already washed through the market following the 36% peak to trough correction.

This trend has become a key narrative in 2025, since persistent spot selling has been the primary reason bitcoin has traded largely flat year-to-date.

Long-term holders are defined as entities that have held their coins for at least 155 days. As coins age from short-term holders into this cohort, long-term holder supply naturally increases.

The recent stabilization and early upturn suggest that the wave of distribution from these more seasoned holders is easing significantly, reducing structural sell pressure in the market.

Wait, the LTH supply hit a new low on the same day as the $80,000 bottom? Doesn't that mean the bottom was set there? Why are there still people dumping...

What does it mean when LTH supply bottoms out? Is it really about to take off?
