Drops

Bitcoin’s incredible journey towards the long-anticipated $100,000 mark is captivating the crypto world, but it’s not just the price grabbing attention. Long-Term Holders (LTHs) are cashing in on this historic run, selling off significant portions of their Bitcoin reserves and setting new profit records. 
Since peaking in September, LTHs have offloaded an impressive 507,000 BTC, marking a strategic move to capitalize on heightened market demand. 
Daily profit-taking among LTHs has surged to a historic $2.02 billion, surpassing levels seen during the March 2024 rally. Interestingly, while their distribution rate is now higher than in March, most of these coins seem to have been held for months rather than years, indicating a shift in spending behavior. 
Glassnode’s LTH Liveliness metric, which tracks the balance between holding and spending Bitcoin, reflects increased activity, <a href="https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-48-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">signaling</a> a trend of profit realization. Yet, despite this, the total Coinday destruction (a measure of how long coins have been held) remains lower than earlier peaks, emphasizing that many coins being sold were acquired more recently. 
The current rally has highlighted the critical role LTHs play in the price discovery process. As Bitcoin inches closer to $100,000, a robust demand side and a period of consolidation may be necessary to stabilize the market and absorb the newly circulating supply. The coming weeks will determine if this milestone is reached smoothly or if the market faces turbulence amid profit-taking.
