According to glassnode, BTC's Realized Cap HODL Waves data shows that holders in the 3–5 year cohort still control a significant 12% of Bitcoin's circulating supply. Historically, this group tends to sell during market strength, which often triggers profit-taking events. However, the recent slowdown in selling activity suggests many of these long-term holders are currently exhausted or waiting for higher price levels before offloading more BTC. For traders, this indicates that while there may be less immediate sell pressure from this cohort, any significant price rally could prompt renewed distribution. Monitoring these HODL Waves can help traders anticipate potential resistance zones and inform entry or exit strategies. Source: glassnode (June 2, 2025)

According to glassnode, since April 21, Bitcoin's hot capital has surged from $20.7 billion to $39.1 billion, marking a significant increase of $18.7 billion or 92%. This rapid growth in short-term realized cap highlights a notable spike in active capital turnover, suggesting intensified trading activity and liquidity in the BTC market. Such a substantial increase in hot capital often signals greater volatility and potential for strong price movements, making it a key metric for traders monitoring short-term trends (source: glassnode, April 29, 2025).
