CryptoQuant analyst CW8900 noted that the Bitcoin long-term holder spent output profit ratio (LTH SOPR) has risen above 1, signaling a shift in the market from a bearish phase to a neutral state. Historically, when this metric rises above 6, it typically corresponds to concentrated profit-taking by long-term holders and cycle peak zones. During the current cycle, the metric has yet to break through 6. Long-term holder coin balances remain at historical highs and have been steadily accumulating, indicating that a large-scale profit-taking phase has not yet materialized.
Odaily News: According to Darkfost monitoring, this cycle may be the most active one for Bitcoin long-term holders. Related changes can be observed through the CDD heatmap, an indicator that tracks the number of days Bitcoin was held before being spent or transferred. Long-term holders moving Bitcoin is usually associated with an intent to sell. The increased activity among long-term holders in this cycle may be attributed to greater market liquidity brought by spot ETFs and companies building Bitcoin treasury reserves. However, a rise in CDD does not only appear at market tops; it may also reflect capitulation by some holders. Coinbase previously moved 800,000 BTC, a large portion of which had been held for more than 6 months. Such asset migrations can also cause a short-term spike in CDD, but they are sporadic events. Currently, with Bitcoin's recent rally, long-term holder activity has increased slightly, possibly because some holders are looking to take quick profits; but overall, related activity in 2026 remains fairly quiet, with long-term holders still waiting.

Odaily News: CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost posted on X, stating that as BTC price approaches $80,000, selling activity among long-term holders (LTH) has increased significantly. Data shows that long-term holders had been in a continuous net accumulation state, with their monthly average net supply growth reaching 286,000 BTC in early June. However, this has now shifted to a net decrease of approximately 21,000 BTC — the first time this year that the amount of BTC sold or transferred by long-term holders has exceeded the amount newly entering long-term holding status.Meanwhile, the amount of BTC transferred by long-term holders to exchanges has risen to its highest level since 2026, with holders of 6 to 18 months being the most active, transferring over 297,000 BTC to exchanges. This signal warrants close attention. Although market demand has improved, increased selling pressure from long-term holders could once again tilt the market's supply-demand balance in favor of sellers.

QCP reported that Bitcoin's rise is linked to declining US long-term Treasury yields and a weakening US dollar, following the US Treasury's announcement to expand the scale of its long-term Treasury liquidity support repurchase agreements starting September 9. Markets will now focus on the US July PCE data on August 26, the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Symposium from August 27 to 29, and the Federal Reserve's policy meeting on September 15–16. QCP believes that the key factor for the current cryptocurrency market is whether spot demand can sustain itself following initial position adjustments, particularly amid the backdrop of rising leverage.
According to Cointelegraph, Standard Chartered Bank analyst Geoff Kendrick pointed out in the latest client report that the U.S. Treasury announced the scale of 10- to 30-year Treasury bond buybacks will be at least doubled from $2 billion per operation to $4 billion, with an execution period from September 9 to November 4. This policy drove long-term U.S. Treasury yields down significantly, effectively alleviating selling pressure in the bond market. Kendrick stated that such government liquidity interventions have historically been bullish for Bitcoin, and coupled with its fixed supply attribute, BTC is expected to hit $100,000 before the end of the year. Technically, he views $65,500 as a key support level; once effectively broken above, it can confirm that the bottom of this cycle has appeared.
