Analyst: Bitcoin HODLers Start Taking Profits, This Group May be Calling the Top

On May 17th, the on-chain data analyst Murphy posted on social media that recently, the average cost of Bitcoin Long-Term Holders (LTH) has witnessed a sudden and rapid increase. The 7-day cost change rate has reached 9.57%. This situation occurred not only due to some Short-Term Holders (STH) converting their high-cost chips into LTH but also because some low-cost long-term chips were sold, resulting in an overall cost increase. Currently, the average cost of LTH is around $31,000, indicating that a significant amount of chips priced below $31,000 have been sold, leading to a rapid rise in the overall cost. Murphy further explained that LTH holders, known as "Diamond Hands," usually trade very rarely. Their selling actions are mainly based on "panic" or "hedging." In the current situation, there is no "panic," so it is possible that LTH holders may feel that the price is approaching what they perceive as the top and are starting to gradually exit (LTH's judgment may also be wrong).
