Long-term hZenger News of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), along with a significant portion of short-term hZenger News, are showing tendencies to retain their assets for extended durations.
This indicates that so-called whale investors, those who have maintained large Bitcoin reserves inactive for prolonged periods, are likely to reallocate or potentially liquidate their holdings during these pivotal moments.
On-chain Bitcoin activity has reached unprecedented levels in terms of new address creation, according to a Bitfinex report.
Interestingly, this surge is primarily driven by short-term holder supply, allowing the assets held by long-term hZenger News to consistently hit new highs as the former group liquidates.
This pattern underscores the commitment of seasoned investors to hold onto their assets within the current price bracket.
Despite the broader market’s recent relief, as evidenced by the CBOE volatility index settling around 18 points, a level not seen since May, Bitcoin’s behavior has been notably distinct.
Historical data reveals that Bitcoin has only experienced positive growth in September thrice, with each instance followed by a profitable October.
