Long-term holders of BTC have been very active recently. Distribution has noticeably increased, and selling pressure has followed. However, based on the data, although this wave of selling is more intense than in November, it still hasn't reached the scale of the two bottoming phases in August 2024 or April 2025—The problem is, this pace feels a bit delicate. On the surface, it looks like normal profit-taking, but in reality, it seems more like a temporary price stabilization being exploited for an exit.
But there are also bright spots in the market. The FBS curve is gradually recovering, and new capital inflows are steadily returning. However, don’t expect a V-shaped reversal too much—this curve’s upward process has always been challenging, as mentioned earlier. Probabilistically, BTC is likely to fluctuate sideways in the near term, and a second bottom is even possible.
The current situation actually aligns with expectations. Long-term holders increasing their distribution when prices are stable or not falling sharply just confirms previous judgments. The key is whether the FBS curve can continue to recover—if it does, the overall trend remains intact. It’s just necessary to withstand repeated shakeouts during the process and not be shaken out by short-term volatility.
The performance of SOL and ASTER also warrants attention, as they often reflect changes in market risk appetite.

The long-term account distribution rhythm this time is indeed a bit strange, not purely profit-taking but more like taking the opportunity to run...
Wait, if FBS is repairing, there is still hope, the key is whether it can withstand this wave of shakeout.
Second bottom? Ah, I fear this the most, I might get shaken out again.
The trends of SOL and ASTER are really worth watching, as they often can sense the true market sentiment.
But to be fair, although this wave of selling pressure is frightening, it is much milder compared to the previous few bottoms, maybe not so desperate?

Long-term holders, this distribution rhythm is indeed subtle, not as fierce as at the bottom, more like taking profits when things look good. It's a bit cautious.
I agree with FBS on fixing this point; new funds are also entering, but don't expect a V-shaped reversal to be the end. This curve is inherently frustrating, and there will probably be some volatility for a while.
A second bottom? It's definitely possible; we need to withstand the shakeout.

Long-term big players are distributing at high levels, which is really a bit hasty. It feels less like simple profit-taking and more like panic.

The old mouse trap trick is back; it's strange if it doesn't work.

Long-term holders, this distribution rhythm is really tricky. It looks like taking profits, but actually it's just a quick exit when the opportunity arises.
FBS is slow to recover. Can we really rely on it... Anyway, I no longer expect a V-shaped reversal, so I'm just playing it safe.
How has SOL been doing lately? I need to keep a close eye on its mood.
Second bottom? Then I better hold onto my chips and not be reckless.
After this wave, ordinary people have really been shaken up quite a bit.
