> The rolling 30-day total dropped to 240,000 BTC from 310,000 BTC between Oct. 22 and Oct. 29. The cohort’s MVRV ratio eased to 1.65 from 1.67.

Analyst Axel Adler Jr. said a measure of Bitcoin (BTC) long-term-holder distribution fell 22% in the week through Oct. 29, while the group’s unrealized profit margin narrowed.

The rolling 30-day total decreased to 240,000 BTC from 310,000 BTC between Oct. 22 and Oct. 29. It sums daily declines in supply held for at least six months over the prior 30 days. Smaller daily reductions in recent days pulled the measure lower.

The cohort’s MVRV ratio was 1.65, with market price 65% above its $48,000 average cost basis. A week earlier, the ratio was 1.67, equivalent to a 67% margin. The difference narrowed by 2 percentage points.

Adler said long-term holders still had substantial unrealized profits and interpreted the lower distribution reading as easing sell pressure. He said a rise in MVRV would indicate a recovery in the profit margin relative to cost basis, while a further price decline could put long-term-holder supply at risk.
