According to pseudonymous CryptoQuant analyst Crazzy blockk, an assessment of key on-chain metrics suggested that short-term Bitcoin [BTC] holders could be instrumental in driving the next bull run for the king coin if they continue to accumulate and spend less.
To arrive at this conclusion, the analyst examined BTC’s Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), Adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio (aSOPR), and Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) metrics.
According to the SOPR, ASOPR, and STH-SOPR metrics, short-term holders have been spending their profits. This has led to a surge in BTC accumulation and a reduction in selling pressure in the last few weeks, Crazzy blocck found.

“During the coming months, if the short-term holders are interested in accumulating and entering at this level and are not interested in selling in exchanges for price growth, it will be a bullish sign for Bitcoin. These factors usually lead to short-term holders will become long-term holders, according to bitcoin’s past price cycles.”
