BTC's Resilience: Long-Term Holders and Spot Market Buying Fuel Accumulation
BTC Maintains Above $105,000: Will Long-Term Investors Propel Bitcoin's Upcoming Surge?
Bitcoin (BTC) has shown incredible resilience, with a 1.12% price increase in the last 24 hours, trading above $105,000 at the time of writing. Even amidst market chaos, Bitcoin has managed to stand tall, thanks to the actions of long-term holders and active spot market investors.
Bullish Long-Term Holders
The RHODL ratio, which compares long-term holders (6 months to 2 years) to short-term holders (1 day to 3 months), indicates that short-term holders are still holding onto their coins. Remarkably, the RHODL ratio is now below the 2024 high, signaling minimal long-term selling pressure. When the ratio is low, it's a bullish signal because all cohorts of short- to medium-term investors are in profit, and long-term holders maintain their positions, driving upward price momentum [3].
Spot Market Frenzy
Spot market activity has been steady, with buyers regaining control after a period of sideways trading and low volatility. Bitcoin rebounded from demand zones around $104,000–$105,000, consolidating after reaching new all-time highs over $111,000 in May [5][4].
Tokenizing Profits
The Puell Multiple, an important market indicator, currently shows a reading below 1.40. This suggests that institutional and spot market investors are taking advantage of the accumulation phase to buy the asset. Historically, when the Puell Multiple remains below the 1.40 level, it aligns with accumulation periods—signaling more upside potential for Bitcoin [1].
Buying Frenzy: Crypto Funds Longing for BTC
Investment funds are also jumping on the Bitcoin bandwagon, as reflected in the strong demand that has sustained BTC's price above critical technical levels. The ongoing accumulation by large holders (whales) and institutional interest (as evidenced by spot Bitcoin ETF inflows) are contributing to the upward trend. If whale accumulation continues, and Bitcoin holds above $108,000, there's potential for further appreciation toward $120,000 in the near term [2][5].
As Bitcoin continues its ascent, investors remain hopeful about its future price trajectory. Will the market continue to align with the accumulation trend, or are we in for a major pullback? Let's stay tuned and find out.

Bitcoin's (BTC) resistance to market fluctuations can be attributed to the actions of long-term holders and active spot market investors, as demonstrated by the low RHODL ratio and consistent spot market activity. Furthermore, the Puell Multiple indicates that institutional and spot market investors are amplifying Bitcoin's accumulation phase, hinting at further price increases in the near term.
