Bitcoin Market Sees Renewed Optimism as Prices Surge
The digital currency market is witnessing an upswing, with Bitcoin recently breaking through the significant $105,000 threshold. This boost in Bitcoin’s value marks a pivotal moment in its upward trajectory. Although Bitcoin has experienced a slight pullback, it continues to attract substantial interest from seasoned investors. A notable increase in long-term holders’ supply underscores this renewed attention.
Long-Term Bitcoin Holders Show Renewed Interest

Bitcoin’s resurgence past the $100,000 mark has sparked a wave of confidence and interest among investors. According to on-chain analyst and author Darkfost, there’s a significant shift in the supply dynamics of long-term Bitcoin holders, who are often seen as veteran investors in the market.
Recently, the supply held by long-term Bitcoin investors has seen an uptick following an unusual second consecutive decline. This decline had initially raised concerns about potential distribution among these steadfast holders, as well as speculation regarding their reassessment of positions amid last week’s minor price fluctuations. However, the current increase in long-term holders’ supply suggests a renewed conviction and demand as Bitcoin approaches crucial resistance levels.
Darkfost, utilizing the Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Binary Spending Indicator, has highlighted a sharp increase in supply, moving from 14.3 million BTC to around 15.8 million BTC recently. This resurgence in supply could bolster Bitcoin’s ongoing upward trend, potentially stabilizing and fortifying its current market cycle. If this trend continues, it may provide the momentum needed for Bitcoin’s rally to extend, often leading to higher price levels.
Key Insights from the Rise in Long-Term Holders’ Supply
Darkfost has identified two crucial insights from the increase in long-term holders’ supply. Firstly, these holders, who have accumulated Bitcoin over time, seem to be retaining their assets rather than liquidating them. Secondly, those who purchased Bitcoin more than six months ago are also maintaining their holdings. Together, these behaviors demonstrate a strong inclination to keep their assets for both long and medium terms.
In light of the current market performance, Darkfost emphasized that the rise in supply among long-term holders without significant spending is a critical indicator. Another notable observation is the drastic reduction in the amount of UTXOs (Unspent Transaction Outputs) spent by long-term holders since the peak in December 2024 and the brief market panic in March, when Bitcoin’s price dipped below $80,000.
As of the latest update, Bitcoin’s price stands at $102,603, reflecting a nearly 3% decrease over the past week. Despite this dip to the $102,000 mark, investors remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s potential for further rallying, as indicated by a substantial 79% increase in trading volume over the last day.
