Don't remind me again today

Recently, during this pullback of Bitcoin, there is a rather interesting phenomenon - the main ones falling are those medium-term players who have held coins for three to five years, while the real old suckers (those who have held coins for more than five years) remain basically unaffected.



The data is straightforward: over the past month, BTC has dropped by about 13%, and at the same time, nearly 50,000 coins have flowed out of spot ETP products. Market sentiment? It has fallen to the lowest point this year.

On-chain tracking can better illustrate the issue. Those holding between 10,000 to 100,000 BTC have been continuously reducing their positions over the past six months to a year. Addresses of this magnitude are usually institutions or early miners, and their actions often signify something.

On the contrary, true long-term believers are not making any moves and are still holding onto their assets. This differentiation in holding structure actually reflects the current market's entangled mentality—short-term pressure is immense, but the long-term logic remains.
BTC-6.98%

This wave of sell pressure mainly comes from medium-term players, what does it mean? It means those who plan for 3-5 years haven't figured it out yet. Crypto Veterans are quietly making money, while those stuck in the middle feel the worst, this is the gap in strength. I've noticed Large Investors reducing their positions early on, but believers haven't made any moves; the competition between these two is what makes it interesting. A 13% fall looks scary, but in a five-year cycle, it's really nothing to mention. The key is still mindset; those who stick to holding are the ones with a winning mentality.

True old players are as steady as a mountain, that's the faith. On the contrary, those mid-term players are wildly oscillating between buying the dip and cutting losses. Large investors are reducing their positions so aggressively, it seems something is indeed about to happen. Brothers holding coins for over five years are still hoarding, indicating that the fundamentals are fine, just waiting for the market maker to absorb all the chips. It looks painful in the short term, but on-chain data doesn't lie, this kind of structure is actually the best bottom signal. This wave is hell for newbies, but it's grocery shopping time for old suckers. The outflow of 50,000 ETP is truly frightening, but we all know the market is just like this, repeating itself time and again. Institutions are quietly reducing their positions, while retail investors are still tangled up in whether to sell or not; the gap is extraordinarily large. Looking at the holdings structure is much more accurate than looking at the candlestick chart; the choices of old players are the best directional indicators.

Haha, the ones who are most anxious are the ones from three to five years ago, while the old suckers are as steady as a rock. What an irony. Large Investors are running away, and retail investors are buying the dip. I've memorized this script. To put it bluntly, the most awkward are those in the middle, entering too late and exiting too early. Still, we have to see what those who truly don't sell are thinking... It reminds me of the last cycle, where the result of reducing position was just later regret.

I'll put it directly, this wave looks like mid-term players are Cut Loss, Large Investors are running... to put it bluntly, it's just institutions are dumping. Old crypto world people have seen through it long ago, they don't move at all, this is true faith.

Haha, this is us, the most awkward 3 to 5 years. Old coin holders are really as steady as a rock, while we middle-aged suckers keep cutting losses. The signal of large investors reducing position is a bit scary. Long term believers really made a profit this time. I'm still waiting to see how it will go after this 13%.
