New data: Old investors do not sell their bitcoins
According to new data, the sales of long-term bitcoin investors have reached near the lowest level in history. In fact, most of the people who have been selling in recent days are investors who have entered the market in the last 3 to 6 months.
To Report Coin Telegraph, Looking at the new data, we find that although the price of Bitcoin peaked at $ 69,000 in 2021, the old Bitcoin investors have never sold.
Data from Glassnode, a CDD index, show that the number of units sold by older investors is nearing its lowest level in history. This index actually provides a tool for monitoring the trading behaviors of long-term bitcoin investors by calculating the lifespan and inventory of each address. Even now, considering the history of long-term bitcoin investors, it can be said that this index is in a very calm situation.
The CDD index actually shows how long a bitcoin stays intact each time it is moved between two wallets. This tool can be used to simplify the process of measuring trading volume and examining market trends. Older units are more important than constantly moving bitcoins.
The Twitter account of UTXO Management published the chart below, saying that although the price of bitcoin has risen in the last few months, the current value of the CDD index is still close to its lowest level in history.
The data show that after the record-breaking bitcoin price in 2017, which caused some old investors to sell their bitcoins, large investors have not done so.
Even approaching $ 70,000 did not change that trend, and it still seems that these are the new investors in the market who are selling.
Summer buyers, winter sellers
