On-chain data suggests Bitcoin long-term holders have started to capitulate recently as the sharp price drop causes panic in the market. Bitcoin CDD Inflow Indicator Jumps Up, Showing Long-Term Holders Have Been Selling As pointed out by a CryptoQuant post, the recent price drop has pushed long-term holders towards selling their BTC. “Coin days” are the number of days a Bitcoin has remained dormant for. An example: if 1 BTC doesn’t move for 5 days, it accumulates 5 coin days. When such a coin would be transferred or moved, its coin days would be “destroyed” as the number will reset back to zero.

A modification of this indicator, called the “Bitcoin exchange inflow CDD,” tells us about only those coin days that were destroyed by a transfer to exchanges. A high value of the inflow CDD generally suggests that long-term holders (who accumulate a large number of coin days) are moving their coins to exchanges. Investors usually transfer their Bitcoin to exchanges for selling purposes, so LTHs transferring a large number of their coins can be bearish for the price of the crypto. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the BTC inflow CDD over the past month: The value of the indicator seems to have spiked up recently | Source: CryptoQuant As you can see in the above graph, the Bitcoin exchange inflow CDD has observed some high values over the last few days.
