Bitcoin easily absorbs LTH exits – Is MicroStrategy’s 3% BTC share the reason?

Bitcoin appears to be demonstrating a strong market structure, indicated by its capacity to absorb selling pressure from long-term holders (LTHs) without significant impact on its price. While Bitcoin has lingered within the $100,000 to $110,000 range since May, this consistent offloading by LTHs, those holding their coins for over six months, has failed to shake the market. This suggests that rather than experiencing a panic sell, the market is undergoing a mid-cycle redistribution, with older coins moving into the hands of new investors. Such behavior often precedes a substantial market rally.
