BTC Analysis: Strong Hands Taking Over Weak Hands, US Election Has No Impact on Bitcoin’s Rise

The Dynamics of Bitcoin Ownership: Strong Holders Taking Charge

According to data from the cryptocurrency analysis platform CryptoQuant, there has been a decline in short-term Bitcoin holders since late May, indicating a weakening market demand. However, long-term holders have continued to accumulate holdings, despite the selling pressure from short-term holders.

Julio Moreno, the head of research at CryptoQuant, noted that short-term holders are still selling Bitcoin and have not yet started accumulating, highlighting the current weak demand for Bitcoin. In contrast, long-term holders have been consistently accumulating Bitcoin during this period.

Moreno emphasized that if the demand for Bitcoin increases again, the situation may reverse, leading to short-term holders re-entering the market and purchasing Bitcoin from long-term holders.

Capital Shift: Transition from Weak to Strong Holders

Contributor IT Tech from CryptoQuant highlighted that there is a movement of capital from weak (short-term holders) to strong (long-term holders), which is typically seen as a signal of market stability. This shift may potentially lead to an increase in Bitcoin prices and stabilize the market in the medium term or prepare for a market rebound. However, the sell-offs by short-term holders could still exert pressure on Bitcoin prices in the short term.

Similarly, institutions have been trying to present data that favors the market, such as CryptoQuant’s previous statements indicating the end of sell-offs by short-term holders and miners at the end of March, as well as a rebound in related indicators in July.

Despite the recent US presidential candidate debates, Bitcoin prices have remained relatively stable in the past 24 hours. While Harris is generally seen as the stronger performer, Matrixport believes that regardless of the election outcome, a rise in Bitcoin is inevitable:

“Although everyone is focused on the impact of the new US president on Bitcoin, the actual impact may be more reflected in the regulation of the Bitcoin ecosystem rather than Bitcoin itself. Cryptocurrencies have experienced strong growth during the Republican (2016-2020) and Democratic (2020-2024) administrations. Therefore, while the upcoming election is a hot topic in the media, Bitcoin may maintain positive performance regardless of who takes office.”

CryptoQuant indicates the strong holders taking over weak holdings, with a bearish short-term outlook but a bullish medium to long-term perspective. Does Trump’s debate loss spell bearishness?
