As volatility engulfs the cryptocurrency market amid war tensions, on-chain 
data shows that the Bitcoin short-term holders are selling at a loss. Bitcoin 
Short-Term Holders Just Made Large Exchange Inflows At A Loss In a new post on 
X, CryptoQuant author Axel Adler Jr has talked about how the Bitcoin short- 
term holders have reacted to the price volatility that has come alongside 
rising tensions in the Middle East following US strikes on three nuclear 
facilities in Iran. Related Reading: Consolidation Takes Its Toll: Bitcoin 
Investors No Longer Greedy The short-term holders (STHs) refer to the BTC 
investors who purchased their coins within the past 155 days. The other side 
of the network, the holders with a holding time greater than 155 days, are 
termed as the long-term holders (LTHs). The former group contains the new 
entrants and low conviction holders, who generally panic easily whenever some 
change occurs in the market. On the other hand, the latter cohort includes the 
veterans of the market, who tend to sit tight through crashes and rallies 
alike. As such, given the recent sharp price action that has occurred in the 
sector, the STHs are likely to have made some moves. And indeed, on-chain data 
would confirm so. The above chart, shared by the analyst, shows the data for 
the profit and loss exchange deposit transactions that the STHs as a whole are 
making. Investors usually transfer to these centralized platforms when they 
want to sell, so inflows going to them can provide hints about whether selling 
is elevated or not. From the graph, it&#8217;s visible that the loss transactions 
going to the exchanges from this cohort have amounted to 14,700 BTC, which, 
although lower than the two major capitulation events from the past couple of 
months, is significant. Thus, it would appear that some of the STHs have 
reacted to the news by exiting the market, even if it means taking a loss.

also apparent from the chart that the profitable transfers have remained 
relatively low at 3,100 BTC. This is likely down to the fact that the STHs are 
left with little profit following the price decline, as the on-chain analytics 
firm Glassnode has pointed out in an X post. In the chart, the trend of the 
STH Realized Price is displayed. This indicator keeps track of the Bitcoin 
cost basis or acquisition level of the average STH. During the crash, the 
price almost retested the line, and even after the rebound, it remains close 
to it, meaning the profit margin for the cohort is still tight. BTC Price At 
the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $101,300, down over 5% in the 
last week. Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, CryptoQuant.com, chart

BNB finds itself at a pivotal crossroads where conflicting signals collide — a 
bearish breakdown challenging key support levels, yet a bullish flag pattern 
hints at a potential upward surge. This paradox leaves traders and investors 
weighing which force will ultimately dominate the market’s next move. As 
pressure mounts from both sides, understanding the technical nuances behind 
this tug-of-war becomes crucial to anticipating BNB’s trajectory in the near 
term. BNB Faces Pressure From Key Technical Levels Analyzing the BNBUSD setup 
on the M30 timeframe, Thomas Anderson in an X post highlighted that the price 
is currently testing the yellow support line at $626.95, following a decisive 
drop below the cyan price line at $633.99. This breakdown has shifted short- 
term sentiment, suggesting that sellers are beginning to exert stronger 
control over the price action. Related Reading: BNB Price Breakout Could 
Trigger ATH Rally Repeat – Is $730 The Next Stop? According to Anderson, the 
200 MA (red line), positioned between $642 and $645, is now acting as a 
dynamic resistance zone overhead. With price trading below this moving 
average, any attempts at recovery may face immediate rejection. He also 
pointed out that the H1 chart confirms the ongoing bearish momentum, with the 
price continuing to trade below both the cyan level and the 200 MA. This 
alignment between the M30 and H1 timeframes strengthens the case for further 
downside movement, especially if the current support at $626.95 fails to hold. 
Until buyers manage to reclaim key resistance levels, the overall outlook 
remains weak, and traders should keep an eye on how the price behaves around 
the current support to gauge the next likely move. BNB’s Price Outlook 
Strengthened By Bullish Continuation Signal Despite the bearish outlook 
presented by Thomas Anderson, eL Zippo expressed a more optimistic stance in 
his latest X tweet regarding BNB. He believes that BNB still has the potential 
to rise in value, challenging the prevailing negative sentiment around its 
recent price action. Related Reading: BNB Price Eyes Comeback: Can It Regain 
Momentum and Rally Higher? EL Zippo’s view is supported by the formation of a 
bullish flag pattern on the chart. This pattern is widely recognized as a 
continuation signal, indicating that the asset may resume its prior upward 
trend after a period of consolidation. For eL Zippo, the presence of this 
structure suggests that BNB could be setting up for another leg higher if 
market conditions align. At the time of writing, BNB was trading around the 
$623 mark, reflecting steady price action. The asset’s market capitalization 
stood at approximately $87.7 billion, signaling strong investor interest. 
Additionally, BNB recorded a 24-hour trading volume of roughly $1.8 billion, 
with price and volume showing percentage gains of 2.11% and 13.22%, 
respectively—an indication of renewed activity and positive sentiment in the 
market. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
