Bitcoin Dives As On-Chain Data Shows Every Cohort Now Selling

On-chain data shows all Bitcoin investor cohorts have pivoted to distribution recently, an indication that a shift in market mood has occurred.

Bitcoin Accumulation Trend Score Has Turned Red For All Holders

In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Accumulation Trend Score of Bitcoin for the various investor cohorts. The Accumulation Trend Score measures, as its name suggests, the degree of accumulation or distribution that BTC holders are participating in.

The indicator uses two factors to calculate the score: the balance changes happening in the wallets of the investors and the size of the wallets involved. This means that larger entities have a higher influence on the indicator.

Now, here is a the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Accumulation Trend Score across holder groups over the past year:

As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Accumulation Trend Score had a value greater than 0.5 for all investor groups back in July, implying a net accumulation behavior across the cohorts.

Retail (under 1 BTC), whales (1,000 to 10,000 BTC), and mega whales (above 10,000 BTC) even saw the metric assume a value close to 1 for a while, which corresponds to a near-perfect accumulation trend.

Earlier this month, the market buying started to show signs of weakness and now, the behavior has flipped across the holder groups with investors taking to distribution. Fish (10 to 100 BTC) lead the selling with an Accumulation Trend Score near zero.

“The uniformity across cohorts highlights broad sell-side pressure emerging in the market,” notes the analytics firm. From the chart, it’s visible that the last time this pattern developed was in January. What followed the sector-wide selloff was a bearish period for Bitcoin.

As such, it now remains to be seen whether the recent shift toward distribution would also lead to something similar. Another development that could potentially signal the oncoming of a bearish phase could be BTC’s retest of the Realized Price of the 1 month to 3 months old investors, as Glassnode has explained in another X post.

The Realized Price is a metric that calculates the average cost basis of Bitcoin investors. The metric shown in the above chart tracks this value specifically for the holders who purchased their coins between 1 and 3 months ago.

At present, the indicator is sitting at $110,800, which is around where BTC has been trading following its decline. “Historically, failure to hold above this level has often led to multi-month market weakness and potential deeper corrections,” says the analytics firm.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $109,900, down more than 5% over the last seven days.

Broadcom Stock Forecast: Down Over 30% Since June, Can the Stock Rebound From Here?

On September 16, Broadcom (AVGO) hit a recent intraday low of $335.80, pulling back 32% from its all-time high of $494.20 and almost entirely erasing its year-to-date gains. Yet just a few months ago, Broadcom was hailed by the market as the most certain winner in AI computing power; now, it has become a poster child for unfulfilled expectations. The root of this shift traces back to its Q2 FY2026 financial report released on June 3. While AI semiconductor revenue reached $10.8 billion—up 143% year-over-year—and Q3 guidance projected over 200% year-over-year growth, management merely reiterated its target of "exceeding $100 billion in AI chip revenue by FY2027" as unchanged, declining to raise it. Market expectations, already priced at a P/E ratio of around 90x, lost the fuel to expand further, sending the stock price into a continuous decline. As the share price dropped, its valuation also underwent a reset. Could this now mark a turning point for the stock?

Oracle Tumbles 7% as Project Jupiter Data Center Force Majeure Notice Sparks Delay Concerns

On September 24, Oracle (ORCL) fell as much as 5% in pre-market trading and dropped over 7% after the market opened. Sparking market concerns was a force majeure notice issued by the company regarding Project Jupiter, a large-scale data center in New Mexico. Investors' focus is shifting from massive AI orders to delivery timelines and capital recovery. According to Bloomberg, Oracle has sent a formal notice to developer Stack Infrastructure, seeking to delay payments if the project fails to become operational as planned in 2028. This move does not imply exiting its position as the primary tenant, nor does it mean a payment waiver has been granted. Oracle maintained that the project is proceeding according to schedule, but did not specifically address the notice itself.
