🟦Amid Bitcoin’s recent volatility, retail traders on Binance triggered a major wave of selling, offloading roughly 13,000 BTC worth $1.4 billion. This marks the second surge in short-term holder (STH) activity in a week — a group known for reacting quickly to price swings. As a result, their realized market cap has fallen by nearly $13 billion, signaling a broad exit of retail participants.
🟦Meanwhile, long-term holders (LTHs) have used the panic as a chance to accumulate. Historically, such phases of redistribution have preceded local market bottoms and new bullish cycles. Analysts note that the current retreat by retail investors may actually strengthen institutional positions and lay the groundwork for Bitcoin’s next major uptrend.
