Data reveals that mostly mid-to-long term holders were selling their Bitcoin during November, thus being responsible for the correction.

Bitcoin UTXO Age Shows Mid-Term Holders Sold Their Coins In November

As per the latest weekly report from Arcane Research, mid-term holders seem to be behind the decline in BTC’s price during the month of November.

The relevant on-chain indicator here is the “UTXO Age.” UTXO stands for Unspent Transaction Output; you can think of it as a Bitcoin mechanic that keeps track of coins on the chain.

The UTXO age metric measures how long it has been since a coin on the BTC blockchain was last transacted. Based on the amount of time each coin hasn’t been moved for, the corresponding holders can be categorized into short-term holder (STH), mid-term holder (MTH), and long-term holder (LTH).

Arcane Research takes UTXO age shorter than three months as belonging to STH, and longer than one year as LTH. Holders falling in the period in between are termed MTH.

Now, here is a chart that compares how the supply belonging to the different Bitcoin holders moved during the month of November:

As you can see in the above bar graph, the Bitcoin short-term supply saw significant growth during the period as it went from 14.9% at the start of the month, to 17.2% at the end.

This growth suggests that some holders in the longer age bands sold off their coins. From the chart, it’s visible that the MTH supply had a sizeable drop during the month.

This means that most of the increase in the Bitcoin STH supply can be accounted for by the sell-off from mid-term holders.

Also, the one-to-three year supply saw some increase as well. This means that part of the MTH supply matured and entered into this longer age band.

The 3-5 year supply also had a slight decrease in November, suggesting that some of these long-term holders reaped their profits, and thus added to the increase in STH supply.

So in conclusion, selling from mostly mid-term holders with some long-term holders may be behind the correction in November.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $55.5k, up 2% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 11% in value.

The below chart shows the trend in the price of BTC over the last five days.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
