Bitcoin is gradually being transferred from experienced long-term holders to new investors. This suggests that the market cycle is at a transition point, according to on-chain analysis.
On-chain analytics provider Glassnode delved into HODL waves to reveal that a wealth transfer has been occurring.
“This suggests that the transfer of wealth from experienced holders to newer demand is occurring,” it noted. The firm also stated that it was a phenomenon common across cycle inflection points.
Transition to a Bitcoin Bull Market?HODL Waves use on-chain data to display the amount of BTC in circulation grouped into different age bands depicted by different colors. They are used to measure what different groups are doing with their coins.
The expansion on the chart shows that the 1-day to 3-month band has increased from the cycle low. Furthermore, Glassnode reported an 86% increase from 11.5% to a current value of 21.4%.

“Because when new participants (new demand) enter, HODL’ers who accumulated at the lows will begin to sell to them at higher prices.”

BTC is currently just above the 200-week moving average, which is at $25,818, according to Woo Charts. This has been a historical level of support that was broken during the cycle low in December.
It is also above the Realized Price of $19,914. This metric is the value of all coins in circulation at the price they last moved. It can also be considered an approximation of what the entire market paid for their coins.
Last week, BeInCrypto reported that more volatility was expected following a long period of low volumes. However, it has yet to materialize as the consolidation continues.
