Selling Pressure in Bitcoin: Short-Term Holders Endure Deepest Losses 2025
The Bitcoin (BTC) market is currently entering a critical zone, marked by a striking on-chain phenomenon: Short-Term Holders (STH) are now experiencing one of the deepest loss phases throughout 2025.
What Does It Mean?
On-chain analysis shows that the current BTC price has fallen below the Realized Price for the STH group.
Realized Price STH: This is the average acquisition price of Bitcoin for investors who have bought in the last few months (typically less than 155 days).
"Under Water" Position: Because the market price is below their average purchase price, new average buyers are technically at a loss (under water).
This condition creates significant selling pressure. Loss-making STH tend to sell every time the price rises slightly, just to reach the break-even point. This behavior limits the potential rally and prolongs the correction phase.
Historically, deep loss phases for STH often mark the end stage of market corrections. However, the market must break back above the STH Realized Price level to confirm a strong bullish reversal signal.#TrumpTariffs #BinanceAlphaAlert #USJobsData #CryptoRally #Write2Earn $BTC
