The recent price slump in Bitcoin<\/a>, caused by a turbulent cryptocurrency market, has sent many investors into panic mode, forcing them to offload their BTC holdings at a loss.<\/p>\n

However, blockchain analytics firm Glassnode noted that a group of Bitcoin investors remained resilient despite the crypto market volatility, saying that long-term holders of the firstborn crypto are unshaken by the current market slump.<\/p>\n

Long-Term Holders ‘Largely Unaffected’<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Glassnode said that Bitcoin, like other cryptocurrencies, experienced a shaky week in which traders saw the world\u2019s most dominant digital asset crash below the $100,000 level.<\/p>\n

At one point, Bitcoin\u2019s price nearly hit the $90,000 level, at $92,800, on February 3, which was the lowest since BTC recorded $90,890 on January 13.<\/p>\n

On the brighter side, the blockchain analytics firm noted that BTC’s long-term holders seem insulated from all the chaos surrounding the cryptocurrency<\/a> community, saying, \u201c#BTC’s long-term holders (LTHs) remain largely unaffected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glassnode revealed that data showed nearly 0.01% of the supply of these BTC holders was in loss, emphasizing the resiliency of long-term investors in times of market turbulence. However, the crypto firm remarked that these Bitcoin investors experienced a decreasing unrealized profit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHowever, their unrealized profit share has steadily declined since November, now at its lowest since September – suggesting no renewed accumulation yet,\u201d Glassnode said in a post.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The analyst noted that BTC holders are not aggressively buying at current prices, possibly waiting for better market signals before resuming accumulation.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Bleed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, data showed that another segment of Bitcoin investors suffered the most from the market crash \u2013 short-term holders.<\/p>\n

According to Glassnode, short-term BTC holders experienced a significant loss after the crypto\u2019s price slid below the $100,000 level, causing panic among these traders.<\/p>\n

#Bitcoin<\/a> dipped below $100K over the weekend, pushing a notable amount of short-term holder (STH) supply into loss. At $97K, the supply in loss & profit held by STHs was evenly split at ~11% – the largest loss exposure for STHs since early January: https:\/\/t.co\/Drjy6ahQMm<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/gypNiJ0BqX<\/a><\/p>\n

Bearish Market Sentiment<\/strong><\/p>\n

An analyst noted that Bitcoin briefly dipped so low that it nearly hit $90,000 per coin, as the dominating crypto suffered after the market crash.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin plummeted to as low as $91.2K as all of crypto has dipped with world stock markets starting the week with heavy bleeding. Media outlets seem to be attributing plummeting sectors to ‘Trump’s trade war’<\/a>,\u201d market intelligence platform Santiment said in a post.<\/p>\n

Santiment added that there have been overwhelmingly negative reactions from investors in the cryptocurrency community as a result of the price decline, and for a moment it seems BTC is about to enter bearish territory.<\/p>\n

The market intelligence platform noted that at the moment, Bitcoin was able to pull back to $96,000.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWas this flush orchestrated to get trigger-happy retail traders to sell at a local bottom? Historically, markets virtually always move the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations,\u201d Santiment asked in a post.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
