Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin distribution has accelerated, signaling a notable shift in market behavior.
Holding Bitcoin ($BTC) is no longer the default strategy for many participants, as evidenced by the Long/Short-Term Holder Supply Ratio dropping to 3.78, the lowest level in this cycle.
Amid this redistribution, key demand zones are emerging. While 482,000 addresses acquired Bitcoin between the current price and $100,000, the critical support range lies between $94,800 and $97,700. In this zone, over 1.3 million addresses have accumulated Bitcoin, highlighting its importance as a potential price floor.
