Seasoned on-chain and macro researcher Axel Adler Jr. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AxelAdlerJr\/status\/1898719997037301989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">spotted<\/a>\u00a0the change in sentiment among investors in his recent data research.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-lths-in-greed-territory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">long-term Bitcoin holders<\/a> appear to have completed their distribution phase, possibly setting the stage for renewed bullish momentum. This completion of the distribution phase suggests that selling pressure among long-term holders has subsided, limiting BTC\u2019s supply in the market.<\/p>\n<p>According to the macro researcher, the distribution by long-term holders is the largest in recent years. After navigating key <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoins-asopr-resets-here-why-it-could-spark-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">metrics<\/a>, Axel Adler highlighted that activity metrics have shifted from high to low, particularly from selling and accumulation.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-417094 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.jpg?resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.jpg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.jpg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.jpg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.jpg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-supply-in-profit-drops-during-price-correction-4-4-million-bitcoin-now-held-at-a-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">decrease in supply<\/a> is usually a sign of a new market cycle and stabilization, representing a potential positive indication of the market. Furthermore,\u00a0 if the demand for BTC surges, the development might lead to a supply squeeze in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>In another X (formerly Twitter) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AxelAdlerJr\/status\/1898729875852136533\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">post<\/a>, the expert reported that long-term holders have distributed over 1.715 million BTC from the $60,000 price level. After navigating the 30-day Net Position Change of Long-Term Bitcoin Holders, Axel Adler identified the massive distribution by the long-term investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the heightened distribution phase coming to an end, the metric has almost returned to neutral levels, suggesting that large-scale selling pressure has stopped. Should this trend continue, the possibility of BTC witnessing a rebound increases as long-term holders return to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-new-accumulation-cycle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">accumulation phase<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>A Stop In Bitcoin\u2019s Selling Pressure On Crypto Exchanges\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Despite persistent bearish performance in BTC\u2019s price, investors and traders are becoming bullish about the asset\u2019s prospects, leading to a reduction in selling pressure. Axel Adler <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AxelAdlerJr\/status\/1898724995750043733\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">revealed<\/a> that active selling by long-term holders reached its end on crypto exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>Following the halt in selling activity on exchanges is the monthly Moving Average inflow, which has declined from 3.8% to about 1.4%. Since it lessens the downward pressure on Bitcoin, this minimal level of long-term holders\u2019 selling activity is an encouraging sign for prices.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-within-narrow-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">BTC<\/a> was trading at $81,995, with a more than 5% drop in the last 24 hours. Investors seem to be capitalizing on the recent sharp decline as its trading volume has increased by over 24% in the past day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/t4Q56sSc\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2283\" height=\"1351\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The broader crypto market continues to experience heightened volatility, causing a robust sharp drop in Bitcoin\u2019s price below the $85,000 mark after witnessing a slight upward push in the previous week.
