Well, to me this is not surprising. That when there is a bull market retail investors rush to buy is nothing new, just as it is nothing new that those who have bought now are the first to sell when the market starts to go down. They move according to 'buy high, sell low', the opposite of what they should be doing.
Yeah short term holders are generally not a good way to measure the demand for bitcoin. The best way is to look at the long term holders and as prices goes up, are they selling.
Usually you will see that during every ATH and during some massive dips, there are long term holders selling. This can give you a clue as when to start taking profit or not.
It's not accurate though, since there's some long-term hodlers that are also buying at the same time as those short-term hodlers, in fact this demand graph isn't the best one to use if we want to measure the growth or potential of bitcoin in the near future. Regarding long-term hodlers selling during dips, wouldn't that be the wrong way around to sell their stash of bitcoins since they're going to be selling at loss if not maximized profits? Maybe during the ATH, that can be a good indicator to sell bitcoin since that's what you should do, that's why we got whale alerts right?

Short-term holders are those who bought Bitcoin on average in the past 155 days or about the past 5 months, as they bought about 10% of the total supply of Bitcoin. If the pace of buying continues at the same price, the price will continue to move forward and strongly after halving, making it the first time we will see a year of rises without real correction.
This rise without big correction is mainly from Bitcoin Spot ETFs because these Spot ETFs approved in middle of January and so far, it is about 3 months. The chart shows significant growth recent months and so far these Spot ETFs are holding about 838,746 bitcoins or $12,267Mhttps://farside.co.uk/?p=997

Short term holders will buy more after the halving because halving will bring more new investors into Bitcoin market.
If that happens then it is going to be a new one, because since the past years of Bitcoin there is always a big correction after the halving, it is why the present volatility is making sense to me, it should be the final flush out, just as expected, many people will eventually quit crypto in this same year before a new big move happens.
I still think that Bitcoin will dump even further, not instantly but gradually, this is what my trading chart is showing, Bitcoin is bearish and the 50k mark is very possible, if anyone want to dump Bitcoin they should just do it, we will see new buyers buying everything up in no time.
If you have been around crypto for a very long time you should not worry about someone dumping a huge bag, its been happening since the first day of Bitcoin, this won't stop a new all time high from happening, it is always a matter of time..

Short-term investors have bought a substantial amount of Bitcoin in the last five months and they have relatively sold Bitcoin. In the last few months the price of Bitcoin has been relatively higher in buying than selling and the price has increased due to which investors have regularly bought Bitcoin in the last few months. But if Bitcoin were to halve its value right now, there are many investors who would sell their Bitcoins instead of buying them. But whenever investors sell their bitcoins instead of buying them, the price of bitcoins will keep dumping again. But if the investors continue their buying during this season of halving then the price can recover but every investor usually refrains from investing in Bitcoin with large amount of money during this season.
Ain't know how we measure the long-term or short-term holders during these short-term buyers because when Bitcoin is in a bullrun, people trying to make a profit or we don't know who are those aiming for a higher profit than possible we can call them long-term holders. On the opposite side, those people see a small profit and then quickly sell.
So there's no way to know them either short-term holders or long-term holders, as long as Bitcoin gains massive adoption the pace of buying will also be there.

I'm sure that there will be FUD news and panic selling in the next few months, so the rapid growth shown on this chart won't be sustainable.
Pretty common scenario and let's see who are those true long-term holders.

I agree with other forum members about one thing. Short terms BTC buyers aren't actual HODLers and you shouldn't call them HODLers.
The pace of buying can't continue "at the same price" because the price won't be the same. Some BTC buyers might be willing to buy at levels above sixty thousand dollars, while other buyers might be waiting for price drops, in order to buy at a lower price. If the price grows above 70K USD, some of the buyers might get discouraged by the high price. I'm sure that there will be FUD news and panic selling in the next few months, so the rapid growth shown on this chart won't be sustainable. The real bull run should start at the end of 2024.
I think the chart has pointed in the direction of positive growth but also quite high. If so, we must prepare to return to the situation 6 months back, precisely in November 2023. Well, whether it happens or not, at least Bitcoin has shown its strong capabilities and provides a strong level of trust where there is a long-term value increase for this potential digital currency for those who invest in it.
short term holders does not mean they will sell soon.
it would be more appropriate to call them "short term buyers" or people who have purchased in the last period.
Of course, after about ten years, users arrive capable of purchasing 10% of the supply in such a short time, it is clear that new interests and new types of buyers are now coming into play.
I see a significant correlation with ETF approval and this graph...

This is a bad sign to me and opposite of what you think.
These are holders that bought because of the halving not ones that are accumulating for their believe in the system.
I believe this is one of the reasons we experiencing this fall and volatile
Some are already taking profit. Imagine what will be done post or before halving
They going to drop some bags with the hope of buying cheaper.
To be sincere I would feel more at ease seeing $50K tomorrow than seeing $80K.
A fall is a momentum that gives rise to a pump.
Is like pulling a string, to go farther you have to push it backer imagine it's a word
Once released boom it's off at speed that can scare you

Bitcoin is extremely volatile so it’s difficult to say whether it’s going to go up or down. There could be some global news or event that could highly affect the price of bitcoin. I don’t think it’s accurately possible that the same rate of people buying will stay constant for a long period of time.
I have no doubts however that the price will be incredibly high post-halving but I’m not very convinced that there will be no correction anymore.
