Bitcoin remains under pressure, with its price dropping below
$85,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is valued at $84,397,
representing a 2.4% decline in the past 24 hours and a significant
13.7% drop over the past week. These market conditions have sparked
a range of analyses, with various on-chain indicators offering
insights into current investor behavior. Related Reading: Bitcoin

Latest CDD Spike Could Signal A Market Shift One of the key
indicators highlighted recently by a CryptoQuant analyst known as
Banker is the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric. According to
Banker, the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric—a measure of economic
activity weighted by the age of coins being moved—has seen a
substantial surge. The 60-day CDD indicator, which aggregates these
destroyed coin days over two months, indicates that coins held for
extended periods are now being spent at a much higher rate. This
trend, observed from November 2024 to February 2025, suggests that
long-term holders are increasingly active in the market,
potentially signaling a pivotal moment for Bitcoin. Banker explains
that elevated CDD values often correlate with significant market
events. In this case, the sustained uptick in long-term holder
activity may hint at profit-taking, asset reallocation, or
anticipation of heightened market volatility. While it is not
unusual for Bitcoin long-term holders to move coins during
periods of major price shifts, the current trend represents the
strongest CDD signal since 2021. Historically, such patterns have
preceded market turning points, making this metric a critical one
to watch. Why CDD Matters Notably, the Coin Days Destroyed metric
differs from typical transaction volume as it gives more weight to
coins that have remained untouched for longer periods. Each unspent
day accumulates “coin days,” and when the holder finally moves
those coins, these days are “destroyed.” The 60-day CDD effectively
tracks long-term holder sentiment by revealing when these seasoned
participants decide to act. As earlier mentioned, a consistent
increase in CDD often reflects a growing willingness among
long-term holders to take profits or reposition their
portfolios—moves that can influence broader market sentiment.

$73,000 Banker points out that this uptick may signal more than
just a Bitcoin price correction. With long-term holders moving
their coins at a steady pace, the market could be heading toward a
“healthier reset.” This kind of activity often sets the stage for
new entrants to step in, potentially stabilizing the market and
creating opportunities for fresh capital inflows. However, the
implications depend heavily on the broader market context,
including macroeconomic factors and investor confidence. Featured
