Bitcoin remains under pressure, with its price dropping below $85,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is valued at $84,397, representing a 2.4% decline in the past 24 hours and a significant 13.7% drop over the past week.
These market conditions have sparked a range of analyses, with various on-chain indicators offering insights into current investor behavior.
Bitcoin Latest CDD Spike Could Signal A Market Shift
One of the key indicators highlighted recently by a CryptoQuant analyst known as Banker is the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric. According to Banker, the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric—a measure of economic activity weighted by the age of coins being moved—has seen a substantial surge.
The 60-day CDD indicator, which aggregates these destroyed coin days over two months, indicates that coins held for extended periods are now being spent at a much higher rate.
This trend, observed from November 2024 to February 2025, suggests that long-term holders are increasingly active in the market, potentially signaling a pivotal moment for Bitcoin.
Banker explains that elevated CDD values often correlate with significant market events. In this case, the sustained uptick in long-term holder activity may hint at profit-taking, asset reallocation, or anticipation of heightened market volatility.
While it is not unusual for Bitcoin long-term holders to move coins during periods of major price shifts, the current trend represents the strongest CDD signal since 2021. Historically, such patterns have preceded market turning points, making this metric a critical one to watch.
Why CDD Matters
Notably, the Coin Days Destroyed metric differs from typical transaction volume as it gives more weight to coins that have remained untouched for longer periods. Each unspent day accumulates “coin days,” and when the holder finally moves those coins, these days are “destroyed.”
The 60-day CDD effectively tracks long-term holder sentiment by revealing when these seasoned participants decide to act. As earlier mentioned, a consistent increase in CDD often reflects a growing willingness among long-term holders to take profits or reposition their portfolios—moves that can influence broader market sentiment.
Banker points out that this uptick may signal more than just a Bitcoin price correction. With long-term holders moving their coins at a steady pace, the market could be heading toward a “healthier reset.”
This kind of activity often sets the stage for new entrants to step in, potentially stabilizing the market and creating opportunities for fresh capital inflows. However, the implications depend heavily on the broader market context, including macroeconomic factors and investor confidence.

Samuel Edyme
Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname – HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.
Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.
Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.
When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)
Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.
In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.
Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”
PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
