Record Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply Points to Early Bottom
Swan CEO Cory Klippsten says surging long-term holder supply hints the Bitcoin bear market bottom may arrive sooner than expected.
Bitcoin's long-term holders are stacking harder than ever, and Swan CEO Cory Klippsten thinks that tells you everything you need to know about where the bottom might land. When the so-called "diamond hands" crowd reaches record supply levels, historically it signals that the market is closer to a floor than most traders realize.

That supply squeeze matters. Less liquid Bitcoin floating around means a smaller sell-side wall for buyers to absorb when demand picks back up.

For active traders, this is a tradeable signal worth respecting. It doesn't mean you buy blindly today, but it does mean the risk-reward is shifting. Waiting for the "perfect" bottom confirmation could mean chasing a move that's already well off the lows.
Klippsten's broader point reinforces a thesis that Bitcoin cycle bottoms are increasingly front-loaded as the asset matures and long-term conviction grows with each passing halving cycle. Continue reading at Cointelegraph.
