Trump issues 48-hour ultimatum to Iran amid dwindling ceasefire odds

Bitcoin traded within a range-bound spell throughout March, with prices 
briefly rallying to $75,000 before falling back within the boundaries of the 
$63,000-$71,000 range. However, despite this, Bitcoin price struggles within 
this consolidation phase; the underlying dynamics are telling an interesting 
story concerning who the current distributors of Bitcoin are. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin Mining Not As Globally Decentralized As It Appears — Here’s Why Short- 
Term Holders Dominate Sell-Side Pressure In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, 
pseudonymous analyst TeddyVision reveals that, while price appears stagnant, 
Bitcoin&#8217;s most-reactive investor group, i.e., the Short-Term Holders (STH), is 
still selling their holdings. This revelation is based on readings from the 
Bitcoin: Exchange Inflow &#8211; Spent Output Age Bands &#8211; Spot Exchanges metric. For 
context, this metric shows the age distribution of BTC being sent into spot 
exchanges, thereby revealing whether recently acquired coins or long-held 
coins are being deposited for potential selling. Per the analyst, the dominant 
flow of BTC into spot exchanges is coming from its 0-12 month cohorts, 
collectively referred to as the short-term holders, and sometimes includes 
transition participants. While the Bitcoin STHs are behind the extant sell 
pressure, TeddyVision points out that older cohorts (above 12 months) are, for 
the most part, inactive. The analyst explains that while there have been 
occasional spikes seen in the investors&#8217; activity, these are at best described 
as event-driven, rather than long-term distribution activities. As such, the 
dynamic becomes clear that weak hands are selling, thereby supplying the 
market, while stronger hands are holding firm. Based on historical patterns, 
this dynamic is sensible, as long-term holders tend to sell during periods of 
strong upward momentum, rather than during consolidation. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin Price To $80,000: How The February Bullish Trend Can Push It 20% 
Higher Market Absorbs STH Supply As Structural Strength Builds Up Notably, 
what&#8217;s interesting about this scenario is how Bitcoin has maintained a 
constant price range, despite increasing Short-term Holder distribution. For 
context, sustained sell pressure from short-term holders has often caused 
sharp downturns in the Bitcoin price. This has been observed even in the 
present market until February 6, when the consolidation commenced. Data from 
the Coinbase Premium Index reinforces TeddyVision’s proposed idea of a growing 
market backing. TeddyVision explains that conditions in the US spot market 
forced the index underwater for extended periods. However, as the 
consolidation range formed, the premium retracted from these negative 
extremes, and the price stopped responding to downside pressure. From a big 
picture perspective, the Bitcoin market seems to be at a transitional phase 
where the prevalent STH exit reveals the market&#8217;s growing resilience. 
Nonetheless, market participants should be aware that this does not promise a 
reversal or price rebound. As of press time, Bitcoin holds a valuation of 
$66,930, reflecting no significant movement over the past 24 hours. Featured
