The Bitcoin price is still recovering from a major dip<\/a> to $60,000 in the first three days of October. As the bulls and long-term holders continue to capitalize <\/a>on the dip, analysis of on-chain data has revealed that the selling pressure has been eased massively as the majority of short-term holders have exited the market. Interestingly, these short-term holders are accountable for the drop to $60,000, as the data shows many of them exiting the market during the initial decline, further exacerbating the price drop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Short-Term Holders Exit The Market<\/h2>\n

According to an analysis of Bitcoin holder cohorts using data from the CryptoQuant platform, the supply of Bitcoin held by short-term holders has declined substantially since the beginning of the month. Although this contributed to a Bitcoin price decline during this timeframe, it is not necessarily bad for the crypto <\/a>moving forward. This notable decline is visible in purple bars in the chat below, with every period of price downturns highlighted by an increase in short-term holder selloffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin price, which ended September around $65,000, kicked off October with a price dip amidst broader market tensions. This, in turn, led to a 7.5% Bitcoin price dip until it bottomed at $60,100. Notably, the chart highlights that this most recent decline to the $60,000 level coincided with the emergence of more purple bars, revealing that the selloff by short-term holders played a significant role in the price decline.<\/p>\n

What Does This Mean For Bitcoin?<\/h2>\n

Moving forward, the selloff from short-term holders and the price decline has given rise to more accumulation by long-term holders. This, in turn, gives rise to the creation of a price floor around $60,000 in the coming weeks and months. It also marks the shift of more bitcoins to stronger hands who would rather hold than sell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Notably, the exit of many short-term holders has given rise to a better average cost for the cohort. According to on-chain metrics revealed by a verified CryptoQuant analyst, the average cost of one to three-month holders is now around $61,633, and the average cost of three to six-month holders is around $64,459.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $62,130, which positions it right in the middle of these two key holder cohorts. According to analyst Burak Kesmeci,<\/a> a decisive close above the $64,500 level would significantly strengthen the bullish momentum, giving both short and long-term holders more confidence to continue holding. On the other hand, if Bitcoin falls below $61,600, it could trigger a wave of additional selling pressure from more short-term holders, potentially leading to further price declines to revisit $60,000 again.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
