Despite recent market volatility, both short-term and long-term Bitcoin holders are showing no signs of aggressive selling, according to an on-chain analysis by Darkfost, published via CryptoQuant.
The report focuses on Binance inflow data from two distinct investor groups—Short-Term Holders (STH) and Long-Term Holders (LTH)—to gauge current selling pressure.
STH Behavior: Reactive but Stable for Now
Historically, STHs are quick to respond to fear and headlines. For instance, they sent over 12,000 BTC to Binance during the August 2024 correction. Similarly, amid February–March 2025 tariff tensions, they dumped more than 14,000 BTC as Bitcoin dipped below $80,000.
Currently, however, STH inflows sit at just 8,000 BTC, a level comparable to the previous 2024 correction. This indicates moderate selling pressure, not panic.
LTH Activity: Minimal and Muted
The report highlights a stark contrast on the LTH side. Long-term investors have sent only 86 BTC to Binance—far below the 254 BTC seen ahead of the last cycle top and even further from the 626 BTC recorded at the 2024 peak.
This suggests that LTH conviction remains high, and they are not contributing to any near-term price drag.
Market Outlook: Demand Still Holding
While both STH and LTH inflows remain low, Darkfost cautions that this data must be viewed alongside current demand levels, which still appear solid. So far, there are no red flags pointing to significant downside pressure from holder behavior.
As long as inflows remain modest and demand holds steady, the Bitcoin market structure remains resilient, even amid macro uncertainty.
