Short-term Bitcoin holders transferred 65,200 BTC to exchanges, signaling renewed market stress as investors move assets at a loss. The capitulation pattern typically occurs when recent investors face mounting losses and decide to exit their positions.
Institutional investors have been selling Bitcoin recently, alongside capitulation from retail short-term holders. The simultaneous behavior reflects increased market uncertainty across participant groups.
Although Bitcoin ETFs have recently been net sellers, Strategy and a handful of other entities remain active buyers. This indicates a split among institutional-level participants, with some reducing exposure while others continue to accumulate long-term.
The wave of capitulation from short-term holders has recently subsided, reducing immediate downward pressure on Bitcoin. However, recent exchange inflows suggest selling pressure may be intensifying again among this investor cohort.
