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)
