On-chain data shows Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) have seen their netflow 
rise recently, a sign that selling pressure from diamond hands is easing. 
Bitcoin LTH Net Position Change Is Becoming Less Negative In a new post on X, 
Glassnode analyst Chris Beamish has talked about the latest trend in the 
behavior of Bitcoin LTHs. This cohort represents one of the two main divisions 
of the BTC market done on the basis of holding time and includes the investors 
who purchased their tokens more than 155 days ago. Related Reading: Solana’s 
Next Major Support Levels Sit At $50, $22, And $10: Analyst 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 times are 
considered to reflect the resolute side of the sector. Though, despite the 
resilience of this group, its members still participate in selling during some 
parts of the cycle. One such phase is currently ongoing, as the chart shared 
by Beamish shows. As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin LTH Net 
Position Change, an indicator tracking the monthly net amount of BTC entering 
into or exiting out of the group&#8217;s combined balance, turned negative as the 
cryptocurrency&#8217;s price saw a bearish shift in the last quarter of 2025. Since 
then, the indicator has mostly stayed contained inside the zone, implying 
continued distribution from the diamond hands. From the chart, it&#8217;s apparent 
that the selloff only deepened as BTC crashed to its low around $60,000 last 
month, implying that the volatility scared even some of the more resolute 
hands into parting with their tokens. Since the negative peak in the indicator 
coinciding with the price lows, however, the Bitcoin LTH Net Position Change 
has been climbing back up. Today, its value is still red, suggesting continued 
selling pressure on the monthly timeframe, although the degree of it is 
notably lower. &#8220;After months of sustained net selling, LTH net position change 
is now easing, suggesting that selling pressure from seasoned holders is 
moderating as BTC stabilizes,&#8221; noted the analyst. It now remains to be seen 
whether the Bitcoin LTH Net Position Change will continue to improve in the 
near future or if the diamond hands aren&#8217;t done selling yet. Related Reading: 
XRP Triangle Could Point To Support Between $0.60 And $0.90 In some other 
news, each attempt from the cryptocurrency at the $70,000 level has been met 
with profit-taking recently, as on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has 
highlighted in an X post. As is visible in the graph, the 12-hour moving 
average (MA) of the Bitcoin Net Realized Profit/Loss spiked above $5 million 
per hour as BTC rallied on Monday. The metric crossing this threshold also 
capped out previous recovery attempts from the asset during the past month. 
&#8220;The asymmetry reflects the fragility of the current demand structure,&#8221; said 
Glassnode. BTC Price Bitcoin has seen a minor retrace to $68,500 since the
