The buying frenzy of short-term bitcoin holders, combined with the constant accumulation of long-term investors, creates a particularly favorable context for 2025. This dynamic could keep the price of BTC above $100,000 in the months to come, according to the latest analyses.
FOMO Fuels Bitcoin Rally in 2025
Short-term bitcoin traders, holding their assets for less than 155 days, intensify their purchases during bullish market phases. This behavior, driven by fear of missing an opportunity (FOMO), actively supports the price of bitcoin.
According to CryptoQuant's IT Tech analyst, this dynamic ofspeculative purchases reinforces the positive outlook for 2025.
Bitcoin repeatedly crossed the symbolic threshold of $100,000 in January, reaching an all-time high of $109,000 shortly before Donald Trump's inauguration. With a short-term realized price of $90,541, 80% of short-term holders are now in profit zone, according to Checkonchain. This profitability boosts their confidence and encourages new purchases.
But this dynamic is not limited to speculation. Temporary market pullbacks also provide accumulation opportunities, allowing short-term holders to further support price consolidation.
A solid foundation maintained by long-term investors
Long-term bitcoin investors (more than 155 days of holding) maintain a strategy of constant accumulation, buying on dips and taking measured profits during rallies. Their average purchase price of $24,639 already gives them a 4x return on their investment, according to Bitbo data.
This 'HODL' (long-term holding) approach stabilizes the market. On-chain data from January 24, analyzed by CryptoQuant's Crazyblockk, reveals that only 18% of bitcoins deposited on Binance come from these historical investors, confirming their strong conviction.
According to IT Tech, occasional selling by these long-term investors creates buying opportunities without compromising the uptrend. This synergy between long-term holders and short-term traders creates a favorable environment for bitcoin in 2025.
