Long-term holders' chip distribution has started! BTC bull market may peak in 2025, historical data reveals key signals

According to the data on the proportion of long-term coin holders' chips on the BTC chain, within 5 months after each Bitcoin halving in history, the trend of chip distribution by long-term coin holders will intensify, usually indicating that the last big cycle of the bull market is coming. Looking back at the bull market cycles of 2017 and 2021, this phenomenon significantly appeared about 5 months after the halving.
 
On April 20th, 2024, Bitcoin ushered in a halving. According to historical patterns, between February and October 2025, the proportion of BTC long-term holders' chips may experience a sharp decline. This change usually means that the market will usher in the last wave of distribution, and the bull market may reach its peak during this period.
 
This period will become a key node of market attention, and investors should remain vigilant and prepare for possible market volatility.
 
The chart shows the changes in the chip share of long-term holders (holding coins for more than 155 days) during the three historical bull and bear cycles of Bitcoin, and aligns them with the halving date. From the data, about 5 months after the halving, the chip share of long-term holders usually begins to decline, indicating the distribution of chips in the market and the signal of the bull market topping out.

With the divergence in the AI narrative, drastic fluctuations in oil prices, and U.S. Treasury yields soaring to a 20-year high, the degree of dispersion among S&P 500 constituents has risen to the 95th percentile in 30 years. As single-stock volatility continues to compress, entry costs have become relatively low, and the volatility gap between individual stocks and the index has widened again. This has opened a rare window for dispersed trading strategies such as "long single-stock options + short index options."

US Treasury yield curve approaches inversion! Is the bond market questioning the outlook for the US economy?

The U.S. Treasury yield curve is rapidly approaching the inversion threshold—the spread between the 10-year and 2-year yields has narrowed to historic lows, and bank stocks have responded with a technical correction. This warning signal, regarded as a "hard rule" for recession, is tearing apart market consensus: some are betting the curve will soon invert, while others firmly believe economic resilience will mitigate the risk. Amid ongoing Federal Reserve rate hikes, the outcome of this bond market game may reshape the narrative logic of the entire asset market.

From ICU to KTV! The Polarized "AI Narrative" Leaves Investors "Exhausted"

In just two weeks, the Nasdaq 100 experienced an extreme rollercoaster: first losing $600 billion in market value due to “AI threat” concerns, then rebounding to reclaim $3 trillion thanks to the viral Meta assistant. Analysts believe that market sentiment is swinging violently between fear and greed, detached from fundamentals. The turmoil has driven Nvidia’s valuation to a ten-year low, intensified the bull-bear divide, and the high volatility driven by narratives has become a long-term norm for investors. This week, Micron will release its financial report; regardless of the outcome, the sharp swings in market sentiment are unlikely to subside.
