<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-reaches-monthly-highs-and-boosts-investor-optimism/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> liquidations reached $365 million, clearing out market speculators. In the latest issue of its weekly bulletin, The Week Onchain, crypto analytics firm Glassnode confirmed a statistically significant capitulation. Bitcoin’s short-term holders (STHs) came under intense pressure due to this week’s Bitcoin price crash. 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="bitcoin-onchain-data-draws-attention">Bitcoin Onchain Data Draws Attention</h2> 
New entrants sold $850 million worth of Bitcoin at a loss. Glassnode’s new findings now show the extent to which overly leveraged players have been eliminated from the market. STHs hold a specific Bitcoin unit for 155 days or less, while long-term holders (LTHs) hold it for more than 155 days. 
STHs tend to be much more sensitive to market shocks compared to LTHs, and this week’s journey towards $49,500 was no exception. The Glassnode team stated: 
<blockquote> 
 “Short-Term Holders are currently holding the largest unrealized loss since the FTX bankruptcy process, highlighting a point of significant investor stress imposed by current <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">market conditions</a>.” 
</blockquote> 
Only 7% of STH assets are currently in profit, reflecting the drop in Bitcoin price below $30,000 that began a year ago. The research report stated: 
<blockquote> 
 “This also shows that this metric is more than -1 standard deviation below the long-term average, indicating significant financial stress among recent buyers.”

Glassnode also confirmed that STHs dominate on-chain losses, with only 3% attributed to the LTH process. Various other metrics provided similar insights into the speculators’ collapse, and the research characterized the broader market reaction to price drops as panic and fear. 
For instance, the STH spent output profit ratio (SOPR) metric recorded the lowest levels surpassed on only 70 days in Bitcoin’s history. The Week Onchain commented that the Short-Term Investor SOPR reached surprising depths as new investors were locked in with an average 10% loss.
