Bitcoin price has been on a downtrend for 2 months and failed to hold upside momentum, with bulls turning weak. Bitcoin on-chain data reveals long-term holders (LTH) are currently not selling following a peak at Bitcoin all-time high. 
<h2 id="long-term-bitcoin-holders-remain-bullish">Long-Term Bitcoin Holders Remain Bullish</h2> 
CryptoQuant verified on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr in a post on X on May 11 shared a key on-chain metric indicating that long-term holders are not currently their holdings. Bitcoin price has struggled to recover fully due to macroeconomic concerns such as <a href="https://coingape.com/giant-bitcoin-whales-accumulate-941m-btc-fed-official-says-rates-cuts-delay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fed rate cut</a> jitters.

Long-Term Holder Spending Binary Indicator showed Long-Term Holders (LTH) sold 1.3 million BTC when Bitcoin hit over $73,000. However, they are not currently selling their BTC holdings anymore. 
The smart money are looking to enter Bitcoin at the local bottom. “They currently have a lot of cash, around 1.3 million BTC,” he added. 
Furthermore, he believes it is the perfect time for a deep correction to filter out all the non-serious crypto investors. Short Term-Holders (STH) had three major profit-taking events at levels 28K, 44K, and 72K, but there was only deep correction in August-September last year.

May has key events next week such as PPI, CPI and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech. The recent University of Michigan consumer sentiment data&nbsp;revealed a fall from 77.2 in April to 67.4 in May, the lowest in six months and also missed market expectations of 76. Furthermore, <a href="https://coingape.com/heres-why-bitcoin-price-is-falling-sharply/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflation</a> expectations for the year ahead rises to 3.5%, a six-month high from 3.2% in April.

<h2 id="bitcoin-price-aims-to-recover">Bitcoin Price Aims to Recover?</h2> 
The US government’s budget surplus in April expanded to $210 billion from $176.2 billion a year earlier, driven by higher tax receipts that outpaced increased spending. 
<a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC price</a> increased nearly 1% in the last 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $61,6009 Bitcoin tumbled from a high of $63,446 as it failed to sustain upside momentum after a recent breakout. Ethereum and other altcoins also fell 2-4%. The recent fall raised doubts about the crypto market recovery later this year. 
Altcoin Market cap is still holding the $250 billion well as support, positioning itself for a future move to the upside via the black pathway, said popular analyst Rekt Capital.
