During the attempt to retest the $ 75,000 level in Bitcoin price, short-term investors realized the fastest profit in the last year. In just one day, more than 48,000 Bitcoins were moved to exchanges at a profit. This volume marks the highest profit transfer recorded by the relevant investor group in the last twelve months. Both the increase in for-profit sales and Bitcoin’s difficulty in exceeding $ 75,000 are associated with this movement.
Increase in Profit Realization
The latest charts, which track the amount of profits short-term Bitcoin investors sent to exchanges, cover the period from December 2025 to March 2026. There is a significant increase in profit realization shown by the green line in the table. The latest data shows that between 34,100 and 36,000 Bitcoins were sent to exchanges at once.
This increase is quite evident, unlike the profit sales, which have been relatively limited since the beginning of the year. This increase, especially when Bitcoin was approaching its last peak levels, brought a sales pressure in the market to the agenda again. On the other hand, total short-term investor inflows, monitored by the blue line, also increased in the same period. It is observed that the price of Bitcoin also increased during this period.
Short-Term Investor Profile and Effects
Short-term Bitcoin holders consist of wallets that have held assets for less than 155 days. Investors in this group are generally more sensitive to price fluctuations. There is a high tendency to close positions in case of price increases or uncertainty in the market. The current profit sales also present a picture consistent with this profile.
It was stated that short-term investors preferred to sell when the price increased and the highest profit transfer of a year was realized in the current movement.
Current macroeconomic conditions and risk perception in the markets also affect the decisions of short-term investors. While the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision is awaited, general economic uncertainty continues. Therefore, many short-term investors choose to exit positions as the price rises. This approach prevents sales from increasing during price increases and creating buying pressure from new buyers.
It is noteworthy that the increase in current profit sales is at its peak this year. In previous rises, that is, when Bitcoin exceeded $ 90,000, there was no intense profit transfer at this level. This shows that short-term investors do not have high confidence in the current market conditions.
Uncertainties Regarding the Coming Period
In the next period, it will be decisive whether the Bitcoins sold by short-term investors can be covered by institutional investors and long-term owners in the market. The $2.2 billion USDT inflow dated March 18 stands out as a move that could create fresh buying appetite in the stock markets. If this new demand can offset the selling pressure of short-term investors, prices can be expected to stabilize.
On the other hand, if the capital entered is insufficient and a possible macroeconomic development creates more uncertainty, a more significant risk of withdrawal may come to the fore on the market. Current charts reveal that the main selling pressure is coming from a clear group and it is at a one-year high. However, it is noted that the data does not show a definitive direction for the next price movement.
