Bitcoin sees largest-ever contrarian accumulation, with long-term holders adding 186,000 BTC in a single month
ChainCatcher news, according to on-chain data from CryptoQuant, an abnormal signal has been detected: since October 6, the BTC demand from long-term diamond hand holders has surged from 159,000 to 345,000, marking the largest accumulation scale in the recent cycle. However, contrary to historical patterns, the price has not risen but instead has dropped sharply.
In the past, when long-term holders aggressively accumulated supply, it usually triggered a supply squeeze and pushed the price to a short-term high. But this cycle presents a contradiction: smart money is accumulating a large number of chips amid extreme panic, while the market is stuck in tens of billions of dollars in unrealized losses. Analysts point out that such abnormal accumulation during a downtrend usually signals two possible outcomes:
Scenario 1: After deep absorption of supply, a strong rebound erupts when retail investors exit, and institutions take the opportunity to distribute chips to new entrants.
Scenario 2: The price explores further lows, completely flushing out market buyers, forcing even strong buyers to reassess, thus laying the foundation for a more sustained trend.

Lily Liu: "Enterprise chains" are killing the crypto soul, we should reclaim the native crypto spirit
ChainCatcher reported that Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu called on social media for the crypto world to return to the cypherpunk spirit.
Lily Liu stated: "We are currently in the era of 'enterprise chains'—companies with massive balance sheets and ready-made distribution channels can wrap a single sequencer in flashy marketing, while pushing a rigid narrative that 'decentralization doesn't really matter,' and at the same time claiming that such centralized efforts are 'helping Layer1 development,' even though everyone knows this is just illogical promotional rhetoric.
Meanwhile, application chain infrastructure that truly upholds the native crypto spirit is being crushed by corporate giants. Even when facing revenue difficulties, these projects start to delude themselves, believing that the only way out is to transform themselves into 'enterprise chains' as well. This is absolutely not the vision I longed for when I first read the 'peer-to-peer electronic cash system' whitepaper, and I am certain this sentiment is shared by the vast majority of crypto practitioners."

Glassnode: Nearly all Bitcoin held by short-term holders is at a loss, reaching the highest level since the FTX collapse.
ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Glassnode data shows that short-term bitcoin holders (holding for less than 155 days) currently hold a total of 2.8 million bitcoins, almost all of which are now in a loss position. This scale of loss has reached its highest level since the FTX collapse in November 2022, when bitcoin was trading at around $15,000 per coin. On June 15 (155 days ago), bitcoin was trading at $104,000, which means that almost all bitcoins purchased since then are currently priced below their purchase price.
In contrast to short-term holders, long-term holders continue to reduce their holdings. Glassnode data shows that the number of bitcoins held by long-term holders has decreased from 14,755,530 in July to 14,302,998 on November 16, a reduction of 452,532 bitcoins.
Nicholas Gregory, board director of Fragrant, stated, "Many long-term holders choose to sell in 2025 after years of accumulation. Most of these sales are due to lifestyle changes rather than a negative view of the asset itself. The launch of US ETFs and the $100,000 price target have created a highly attractive and liquid window for selling."

Bitunix Analyst: Whale Sell-Off Accelerates, Not Panic Yet but Liquidity Gap Poses Risk
BlockBeats News, November 17, on-chain data shows that several "whales" holding more than a thousand bitcoins have recently concentrated on selling, causing the bitcoin price to fall from below 100,000 all the way down to around $97,000. Both exchanges and derivatives windows are showing selling pressure: overall, whale short positions are higher than long positions (on-chain data shows shorts at about $2.17 billion, longs at about $1.18 billion), and bitcoin ETF has seen net outflows for several consecutive weeks, totaling several billions of dollars over the past five weeks, with a significant decline in demand-side absorption. In the derivatives market, protective put options are active around $90,000–$95,000, indicating the market is seeking hedging at lower levels. Although much of the selling is attributed to long-term holders taking profits—both Glassnode and MarketVector reports lean towards "planned selling" rather than panic liquidation—the current situation is not without risk. The key lies in absorption depth: during the long-term sell-off from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, there were still buyers in the market to absorb; at this stage, ETF outflows and a slowdown in institutional allocation make it easier for sell orders of the same scale to amplify price volatility, causing a chain reaction of liquidations.
Technically and in conclusion, the key short-term price levels to watch are $100,000 and $93,000; if $93,000 is confirmed to be lost, the market may test deeper liquidity zones. Conversely, if active buying (including known large players such as Strategy, etc.) steps in at lower levels and stabilizes ETF capital flows, a structural rebound after deleveraging may be triggered.
Bitunix analysts focus on whale wallet movements and large transfers; ETF capital flows and institutional buy/sell announcements; and in the derivatives market, changes in open interest for put options (PUT/OI) and implied volatility—if all three turn positive simultaneously, it signals the true return of buying power; otherwise, market direction will still be determined by liquidity.
