Analysis: The proportion of short-term Bitcoin holders continues to decline, suggesting the market may be approaching the end of the bear market.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost published a note stating that the number of short-term holders (STH) in the Bitcoin market is declining, a positive signal. Currently, the share of BTC supply held by STH has dropped significantly: 1.2% is held for less than 1 day, 2% for 1 day to 1 week, 5.6% for 1 week to 1 month, 6.7% for 1 to 3 months, and 8.1% for 3 to 6 months. Darkfost pointed out that this trend has occurred at the end of every previous bear market. On one hand, this means the proportion of long-term holders (LTH) is increasing. Compared to STH, who are active and more sensitive to market fluctuations, BTC held by LTH is less likely to be transferred. On the other hand, the decline in STH proportion also indicates that market demand has not yet returned. Every BTC purchase creates a new STH UTXO; when market demand is strong, the STH-held supply share rises rapidly, often peaking near market tops. Darkfost believes the market is approaching a "negative extreme" state, where market attention and demand remain at low levels while the number of STH continues to decrease, which is typically a positive signal.

CryptoQuant Founder: Bitcoin futures leverage remains elevated, with ETFs and DAT serving as the primary structural buying forces.
CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated in a post that Bitcoin OG traders have just experienced the most profitable cycle in history. Unlike previous cycles, crypto exchange traders were not the main exit liquidity this time—ETFs and digital asset reserve firms (DAT) served as the primary buyers. This structural buying pushed Binance traders’ unrealized profits to nearly three times the level seen at the 2021 cycle peak.
He noted that Bitcoin’s current price range is similar to that two years ago, and the market is in a deleveraging phase. A large amount of unrealized profits accumulated in this cycle flowed into futures leverage; as traders took profits, BTC’s price is now stable near Binance traders’ average cost basis.
Ki Young Ju also pointed out that on-chain market leverage (BTC/USDT futures open interest divided by USDT reserves) once exceeded 0.5, and is now around 0.3—still higher than the level before the ETF launch. If ETF inflows continue, futures leverage is expected to rise again.
He further recalled that in 2023, OG whales bought heavily when BTC was near $16,000. The buyer/seller ratio shows that a large number of market long positions were built right around the cycle bottom.
