Analysts: Long-term holder selling increases after Bitcoin short squeeze, LTH distribution reaches yearly high
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated in a post that the price rebound following a short squeeze increased the profit levels of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH), driving a substantial rise in their distribution activity. From August 18 to 28, the aggregate 30-day distribution volume by LTHs climbed from 174,500 BTC to 281,900 BTC, a 61.5% increase that marks the highest level since early 2026.
