$BTC To size how intensely long-term holders are anchoring the sell side, we can zoom into exchange flows directly.



The Relative LTH/STH Realized P&L to Exchanges breaks down what share of coins flowing into exchanges carry a profit or loss, and which cohort is driving it. Currently, more than 65% of exchange inflows are attributable to long-term holders realizing losses, a reading consistent with prior bear market phases where this cohort dominated the sell side before eventually exhausting.

Until this share begins to compress, the structural sell pressure from cycle-top buyers remains the dominant force in exchange flow.

Could this be the bottom, maybe?

The analysis is thorough: 65% of exchange inflows come from loss-making long-term holders, which is similar to the characteristics of the bottom in previous bear-market cycles. Only when this ratio starts to decline may it be a true bottom signal.

It looks like this bear market still has a long way to go. LTHs’ loss-related sell-offs haven’t ended yet, so be cautious about “buying the dip.”

This data is really quite alarming, suggesting that long-term holders are still cutting losses and selling off.
