Bitcoin 90-Day CDD Has Recently Plunged To A New All-Time Low
As per the latest weekly report from , old BTC supply is more dormant right now than it has ever been during the history of the crypto. A “coin day” is defined as the amount accumulated by 1 BTC after sitting still for 1 day. The total coin days on the network, therefore, is a measure of how many days all the coins on the network combined have been stationary for, or more simply, how dormant the Bitcoin circulating supply has been. When any of these coins with some accumulated coin days make some movement, their coin days naturally reset back to zero, and are said to have been “destroyed.”The “Coin Days Destroyed” (CDD) indicator measures how many coin days are being destroyed in this way every day across the entire BTC network.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin CDD over the history of the crypto:
The value of the metric seems to have gone down in recent days | Source:As you can see in the above graph, the version of the Bitcoin CDD shown is actually the 90-day one, which measures the total amount of coin days that were destroyed during the last ninety days.
Since the long-term holders accumulate the most number of coin days in the market, spikes in the CDD can mean these older, and generally more resolute holders, have been spending their coins.
The report notes that the 90-day version of the indicator can help us know about periods of high and low selling pressure from these hodlers. From the graph, it’s apparent that the Bitcoin CDD has recently set a new all-time low, suggesting that old supply is right now the most dormant it has ever been. This implies that the latest investor behavior in the BTC market has been that of extreme hodling at levels not observed during any of the previous cycles.BTC Price
