Bitcoin’s market dominance has surged to 56% as long-term holders continue to accumulate despite turbulent market conditions, according to a comprehensive report by Glassnode. The latest on-chain report highlights a divergence in investor behavior, with short-term holders facing significant losses.

Long-Term Bitcoin Holders Show Resilience, Averaging $138M in Daily Profits

Glassnode’s latest on-chain analysis reveals that Bitcoin’s (BTC) dominance in the cryptocurrency market has increased from 38% in November 2022 to its current level of 56%. This rise is attributed to the steady accumulation by long-term holders, who remain unfazed by price volatility. The report indicates that this group has consistently locked in profits, with an average of $138 million in daily sell-side pressure being absorbed, maintaining market equilibrium.

Amidst tumultuous market conditions as of late, Long-Term Holders have been locking in a reasonably consistent $138M in profit per day. With each transaction, a buyer and a seller are matched, with supply and demand imbalances resolved via price changes.

In contrast, Ethereum’s dominance has seen a slight decline, while stablecoins and altcoins have experienced more significant decreases. The report, authored by Glassnode researchers Ukuria OC and Cryptovizart, also examines the psychological impact on short-term holders. These investors have increasingly locked in losses, indicating a potential overreaction to the market’s recent downturn.

The analysis suggests that sustained unrealized losses among short-term holders could heighten the risk of panic selling, potentially leading to a more severe bearish trend. Despite these challenges, the overall market sentiment remains mixed, with the continued “HODLing” behavior among long-term holders providing a counterbalance to the negative pressures observed among newer investors.
