> The measure was higher only in February and June over the past year, while short-term holders were mostly waiting rather than selling.

Bitcoin (BTC) long-term holders realized $139 million in losses on coins transferred to trading platforms Nov. 5, a daily total surpassed only in February and June over the past year.

The long-term holder realized-loss measure, known as LTH-RLTE, reached its two higher readings during periods of greater fear.

Short-term holders had an average cost of about $75,000 to $76,000. Most were waiting rather than selling, having completed most of their coin turnover earlier in the year.

On-chain analyst Murphy said investors appeared reluctant to realize losses but felt compelled to sell, and that sentiment could recover if they gradually recognized conditions were less severe than expected.
