As its price broke $109,000, another $88 million in longs were wiped out in the second wave.<br \/>\nHowever, as short-term traders faced margin calls and forced selling, long-term holders (LTH) responded very differently and increased their accumulation.<br \/>\nThis caused the long-term holder realized capitalization to surge past $28 billion, a level not seen since April. Realized cap is a measure of the value of each Bitcoin based on the last time it was moved, rather than the current market price.<br \/>\nLong-term investors are using this period of forced selling to increase their exposure and accumulate more Bitcoin for the long run, Amr Taha noted. \u201cThis strategic accumulation during moments of market stress reflects the deep conviction of LTHs.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cRather than being shaken out by short-term volatility, they [LTH] see these liquidation-driven dips as prime opportunities to strengthen their positions, reinforcing the foundation for future price appreciation.\u201d<br \/>\nBTC short-term holders (red) and long-term holders (green) net realized cap.
