Bitcoin LTH Activity Hits Cycle Lows: Is $63K BTC’s Next Key Support?

by

So here we are again, staring into the abyss of Bitcoin‘s latest price drop. After what can only be described as an embarrassing downward spiral since October 2025, Bitcoin’s long-term holders (LTHs) have watched their fat profits shrink into sad, gnawing losses. It’s like watching someone try to hold onto their childhood dream, only to realize it’s more of a nightmare.

And of course, some LTHs just couldn’t take it anymore and gave up, closing their positions at a loss. How could you blame them? You’d have to be a saint to not panic sell at this point. But in the midst of all this selling, it looks like most of these weary LTHs have hit a wall. They’ve run out of steam. Even the most dedicated Bitcoin evangelists are seemingly exhausted. It’s like a marathon where the runners keep looking for a place to collapse.

Bitcoin LTH Activity Hits Bear Market Levels

In a shocking plot twist, despite the continuous market weakness, Bitcoin’s long-term holders have practically put their wallets in lockdown. It’s like they’re hoarding their Bitcoins for an emergency that never comes. According to Darkfost, LTH activity has dropped so much that it’s now back at levels typically seen during bear markets. And let’s be honest: That’s not a good sign.

It gets worse. LTHs are not even selling to realize their losses anymore. Data from Checkonchain shows that the LTH Sell Side Risk Ratio dropped to 0.000395, which is exactly what we saw back in October 2025. Translation: The LTHs are so over it that they’re barely willing to admit they’re losing money anymore.

Realized profit has fallen to just 1.1k BTC, the lowest since September 2022. And their realized loss is only 2.7k BTC-definitely a sign that fewer LTHs are trying to jump ship. At this point, it’s like everyone’s just waiting around, hoping the market will suddenly get its act together.

What does all this mean? Well, apparently, it’s a sign of market indifference. Nobody’s rushing to sell, but nobody’s exactly rushing to buy either. Everyone’s holding onto their Bitcoins, sitting in the same place as the market goes nowhere. Historically, this is when the market reaches a bottom-when the only people left holding are those who have no intention of selling anytime soon. It’s like the party’s over, and the only people left are the ones who still want to get their money’s worth from the snacks.

And here’s where it gets interesting: This lull in selling could create some room for accumulation. It’s like a brief, weird pause before something happens. Darkfost even suggests that this lack of activity from the LTHs could keep Bitcoin stuck in a consolidation phase. Think of it as a game of musical chairs, but no one’s moving, so the music just keeps playing.

What About BTC?

Despite the dramatic drop in LTH activity, Bitcoin’s price is still stuck in the mud. It’s like watching someone try to run in quicksand. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at a depressing $69,800, down 0.32% on the daily charts. So much for the “this dip is temporary” mantra.

Bitcoin’s momentum indicators are equally grim. Looking at the Directional Movement Index, the positive index is just barely holding above the negative index, which sits at 22. It’s like a fragile truce between two warring factions, and we all know how those end.

Meanwhile, the ADXR is still above the ADX, signaling that the current trend is weaker than it should be. Essentially, Bitcoin’s downward momentum is as strong as that one friend who says they’ll help you move, but somehow never shows up. In other words, we’re not getting out of this slump anytime soon.

The Future Grand Trend (FGT) indicator is also flashing red. According to FGT, Bitcoin still has room to fall, with $63K serving as the critical support level. So, if you were hoping for some positive news, you might want to lower your expectations. On the bright side (is there one?), LTHs reducing their selling could offer short-term relief. But let’s not get too excited-Bitcoin is probably going to stay somewhere between $65K and $74K for the foreseeable future. Yawn.

Final Summary

  • Bitcoin’s long-term holders have reduced activity to bear-market levels, signaling less selling pressure.
  • Despite this, Bitcoin remains structurally weak, suggesting continued bearish dominance. Hooray.
