ambcrypto.com:

On different bearish occasions, Bitcoin long-term holders remained unfazed with the market trends. While many investors preferred exiting their Bitcoin positions, LTHs continued to HODL.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency witnessed significant fluctuations in its price in 2022. Even at press time, BTC dipped below the $39,000 mark with an increase of 1.54% in the last 24 hours. Despite the interest, macro uncertainty was felt across the board. Consider this graph that showcases Bitcoin’s Accumulation Trend Score.

As per this graph, price-insensitive HODLers of all wallet sizes accumulated in the current market. A Glassnode’s tweet added,

“we see balanced supply and demand, as macro uncertainty tests $BTC HODLer conviction throughout 2022. This differs from the clear distribution seen in mid-2021.”

Now, the accumulation score, at the time of writing stood at 0.3. Here, a score of one indicates that the whales or large part of the market are accumulating. And, a score below zero means that there is a macro distribution by the market.

But, it’s not all doom and gloom when one looks at the metrics. Notably, crypto analyst and pseudonymous Twitter user ‘Plan C,’ explained that “the number of Bitcoin accumulation addresses has gone parabolic over the last month.”

Plan C defined accumulation addresses as “addresses that have at least two incoming non-dust transfers and have NEVER spent funds BTC.”
