Despite a modest price rebound in April, the premier cryptocurrency is yet to display a strong intent to resume its bull rally amidst a lack of positive market factors. However, crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr. has highlighted a promising development that could signal major upside potential for Bitcoin.\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Looking To Halt Selling Pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AxelAdlerJr\/status\/1913520922599870583\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">recent post<\/a> on X, Adler Jr. shared an important update in Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) activity, which could prove significantly positive for the broader BTC market.<\/p>\n<p>Using on-chain data from CryptoQuant, the renowned analyst reports that selling pressure by long-term holders, i.e. amount of LTH holdings on exchanges, has now hit its lowest point at 1.1% over the past year. This development indicates that Bitcoin LTH are now opting to hold on to their assets rather than take profits.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Go4w20EXwAAtgpK?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"4000\" height=\"2250\"><\/p>\n<p>Adler explains that a further decline in these LTH exchange holdings to 1.0% would signal the total absence of selling pressure. Notably, this development could encourage new market entry and sustained accumulation, creating a strong bullish momentum in the BTC market. <\/p>\n<p>Importantly, Alder highlights that the majority of the Bitcoin LTH entered the market at an average price of $25,000, Since then, CryptoQuant has recorded the highest LTH selling pressure of 5.6% at $50,000 in early 2024 and 3.8% at $97,000 in early 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Adler, these two instances likely represent the primary profit-taking phases for long-term holders who intended to exit the market. Therefore, a resurgence in selling pressure from this cohort of BTC investors is unlikely in the short-term, which supports a building bullish case as long-term holders currently control 77.5% of Bitcoin in circulation.\n<\/p>\n<h2><strong>BTC Price Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $85,226 following a 0.36% gain in the past day and a 0.02% loss in the past week. Both metrics only reflect the ongoing market consolidation as BTC continues to struggle to achieve a convincing price breakout beyond $86,000. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the asset\u2019s performance on the monthly chat now reflects a 1.97% gain, indicating a potential trend reversal as the market correction ceases. Nevertheless, BTC remains in need of a strong market catalyst to ignite any sustainable price rally. With a market cap of $1.67 trillion, Bitcoin is ranked as the largest digital asset, controlling 62.9% of the crypto market.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/SkPmdQ2H\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"1563\" height=\"893\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following an extensive price correction in the past three months, the Bitcoin bull market continues to hang in the balance.
