On-chain data shows the Bitcoin long-term holder outflows have been declining 
recently, a potential sign that selling pressure may be fading. Bitcoin Long- 
Term Holder Netflow Is Getting Less Negative In a new post on X, on-chain 
analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the netflow 
associated with the Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs). The LTHs refer to BTC 
investors who have been holding onto their coins for a period longer than 155 
days. Related Reading: Solana Price Jumps, But Network Adoption Remains Weak 
Statistically, the longer an investor holds onto their coins, the less likely 
they become to sell them at any point. As such, the LTHs with their long 
holding time are considered to include the resolute hands of the market. 
Though, while these HODLers tend to be patient, they have shown several phases 
of distribution during the last couple of years. Below is the chart shared by 
Glassnode that shows the trend in the monthly netflow of the Bitcoin LTHs. As 
is visible in the graph, the Bitcoin LTHs observed streaks of net outflows 
during both the bull rallies of 2024, suggesting that the diamond hands of the 
market participated in profit-taking. A short phase of distribution also 
appeared in mid-2025, indicating that the LTHs were doing yet another wave of 
profit realization. This selling was followed by a brief period of net inflows 
for the cohort, which was then followed by another wave of distribution in 
late 2025. This last phase of distribution is still ongoing, as the monthly 
netflow associated with the LTHs remains negative. The latest selloff has been 
a bit different from the last three, however, as it has occurred alongside 
bearish momentum in the cryptocurrency, not a price jump. While the 
distribution has continued, its intensity has been dropping lately as the 
netflow of the Bitcoin LTHs has been becoming less negative. As the analytics 
firm explains: Net outflows have rolled over from extreme levels, indicating 
that the market is progressively absorbing long-held supply and that a large 
portion of overhead supply may now be largely worked through. The decline in 
net outflows has come alongside a drop in the Realized Profit of the group, as 
Glassnode has pointed out in another X post. The Realized Profit here is an 
indicator that measures the total amount of profit that LTHs are realizing 
through their transactions. From the chart, it&#8217;s apparent that the profit- 
taking from the cohort was elevated earlier, but recently, the Realized Profit 
has dropped to a low level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Risks Drop To $69,000 If

during mid-bull market pauses or the early stages of deeper bear markets. BTC

Monero (XMR) is leading the crypto market bounce by breaking out of a macro 
resistance level and breaching above the $600 barrier for the first time. A 
legendary trader has suggested that the cryptocurrency is mirroring silver’s 
historical breakout and could see a massive price discovery rally. Related

Monero Soars To New Highs On Monday, Monero outperformed the rest of the 
market, surging nearly 21% toward its new all-time high of $611.01. The 
privacy-focused cryptocurrency has been leading the start-of-year market 
rally, experiencing a 43% increase over the past seven days. XMR’s rally has 
been fueled by renewed interest in privacy tokens and redirected liquidity 
toward the project, which has driven its market capitalization to $10 billion 
for the first time. Amid this performance, veteran trader Peter Brandt drew a 
parallel between Monero and Silver’s long-term charts, suggesting that the 
cryptocurrency could be near a massive breakout. In an X post, Brandt compared 
Monero’s current rally to silver’s historical breakout, which led to a massive 
run toward new highs. Silver saw a multi-decade price setup in which its price 
accumulated below and retested a macro ascending resistance trendline. 
According to the chart, its price formed its long-term resistance during its 
2011 peak, when it reached a slightly higher ATH of $49.83 before correcting. 
During its Q4 2025 rally, silver finally broke above this key level, nearly 
doubling its price toward its latest ATH of $86.23. Similarly, Monero has been 
forming its multi-year ascending trendline in the monthly timeframe since its 
2017 high. In 2021, the cryptocurrency retested this area, also hitting a 
slightly higher ATH before retracing. Now, XMR has broken out of its ascending 
resistance and could see a similar path to silver’s recent breakout into price 
discovery, the post suggested. XMR to See 50% Breakout Or Breakdown Next? 
Market observer TraderSZ recently shared an optimistic outlook for Monero once 
it broke through its crucial resistance area and turned this level into 
support. To the trader, the cryptocurrency could reach three main price 
targets if momentum continues. Per the post, the initial breakout level could 
reach the $685 area, a more than 30% rally from the resistance level. 
Moreover, it could surge between 50% and 80% toward the $790 and $900 levels, 
like silver’s recent price discovery progression in the monthly chart. Analyst 
0xMarioNawfal also highlighted XMR’s performance as “price continues to trend 
aggressively higher, breaking through previous resistance levels with strong 
momentum and minimal pullback.” To him, the structure remains bullish, with 
buyers stepping in and “no clear signs of distribution yet.” As a result, he 
forecasted potential volatility but added that as long as the price holds 
above recent breakout levels, the trend will remain intact. Related Reading: 
Solana Price Jumps, But Network Adoption Remains Weak Nonetheless, Ali 
Martinez posted a more concerning forecast for the cryptocurrency, suggesting 
that a significant correction may be around the corner. According to the 
chart, Monero has been forming a multi-year rising wedge pattern since 2017, 
with the price bouncing between the upper and lower boundaries. Based on this, 
XMR could likely fail to turn the macro resistance into support and begin a 
long-term 50% decline toward the $300 area, where the pattern’s lower boundary 
is currently located. As of this writing, Monero is trading at $597, a 47.5% 
increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart
