【Crypto World】Recently, there’s an interesting phenomenon—long-term Bitcoin holders are selling at the fastest rate in five years. When does this pattern usually occur? It typically appears when the market is near a high point.
What’s more noteworthy is that the current Bitcoin price is still well above the initial cost basis of these early investors. What does this indicate? Investors who have been holding since the early days are now taking profits. After such a long holding period, they are choosing to cash out.
This pace of large holders offloading their positions often signals that the market may be approaching a cyclical top. For traders, this is a market signal worth paying attention to.

Is the long-term bottom-fisher planning to run away this time? I feel like I'm about to get caught at the top again... On-chain data doesn't lie, but my reaction speed really doesn't lie either—I'm always a step behind.
