BTC short-term holders are actively taking profits, analyst says

May 13, 2026, 6:42 PM
Short-term Bitcoin holders are showing clear signs of taking profits, according to an analysis by crypto analyst Amr Taha. In a contribution to CryptoQuant, Taha noted that since mid-April, these holders have deposited over 7,000 BTC to Binance in five separate transactions. He suggests this indicates they are securing profits from the current rally rather than anticipating further significant gains. The current selling pressure primarily stems from profitable BTC being moved onto exchanges, with relatively limited selling from holders at a loss. Taha also highlighted that deposits from short-term holders increased noticeably after BTC surpassed $75,000, concluding that the market is under repeated selling pressure from this group of investors.
