Understanding Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Supply
Coins that last moved within the past year are mostly in the hands of recent buyers — the most reactive part of the market, quick to add and quick to sell.
When this share grows fast while price is flat or falling, a lot of jumpy supply is building up that could be sold at the first scare.
When it shrinks, those coins are aging into steadier hands — patient owners absorbing what recent buyers let go. That has usually been a calmer, healthier setup.
The freshest slice — coins moved in just the last month — is broken out on the page as “Fresh coins.” When it spikes, a lot of Bitcoin is actively changing hands right now.
