Data shows that <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/the-time-is-coming-watch-out-for-bitcoin-btc-and-cryptocurrencies-on-may-11/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a>’s long-term holders sold only about $600,000 worth of Bitcoin during the sudden drop to $49,500. In one of its recent Quicktake blog posts, on-chain analysis platform CryptoQuant revealed a stark contrast among Bitcoin holder groups. Bitcoin’s drop from $50,000 on August 5th occurred as part of a mass panic triggered by Asian <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">stock markets</a> reclaiming months of gains. 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="what-is-happening-in-the-bitcoin-sector">What is Happening in the Bitcoin Sector?</h2> 
The <a href="https://newslinker.co/can-artificial-intelligence-achieve-consciousness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="exclude">latest data</a> indicates that Bitcoin sales resulted from BTC/USD consolidating $20,000 losses in a single week. However, CryptoQuant contributor Caue Oliveira analyzed the age of assets involved in off-chain transactions, showing that the overwhelming majority were the youngest assets resold at a loss: 
<blockquote> 
 “Looking at the spent output by age range, it is clear that the largest volume of on-chain movements came from assets older than one week.” 
</blockquote> 
Asset age refers to the amount of time a specific Bitcoin unit remained inactive before being used in its last transaction. Traditionally, assets aged up to 155 days are associated with short-term holders (STHs) or speculators, who lack a holding history and are profit-focused. Oliveira shared the following insights: 
<blockquote> 
 “In total, more than $5.2 billion was moved in a single hour within age ranges from one day to one week. A deeper look into the spending pattern shows that this downward movement realized approximately $850 million in losses.” 
 “However, only $600,000 was realized by long-term holders (LTHs). The rest was realized by short-term investors. The largest volume is concentrated among investors up to three months old, indicating that the price drop pressured newcomers to capitulate.”

The historical significance of the large number of loss-making on-chain transactions was also noted by Crypto investor and YouTuber Quinten, citing data from CryptoQuant contributor Axel Adler Jr. on X.

Although the BTC/USD pair has since risen more than 10% from its six-month lows, data from TradingView confirms that not everyone believes the worst is over. Investors are still considering Bitcoin price targets in the $40,000 range. 
Meanwhile, Arthur Hayes, former CEO of crypto exchange BitMEX, warned his X followers on August 6th that the relief rally in the markets would not last long, sharing the following statements: 
<blockquote> 
 “This was the first wave. Now we wait for TradFi bodies to surface instead of leveraged puppets.” 
</blockquote> 
He referred to the victims of the Japanese yen carry trade, which is believed to have caused most of the consequences of the week’s Nikkei crash, and continued: 
<blockquote> 
 “Then the second wave begins. If there is to be a rescue, the market needs to inflict more pain by Friday. Enjoy this break as the war continues.” 
</blockquote>
