Bitcoin short-term holders showed their strongest capitulation signal of the year, with 53,800 BTC moved to exchanges at a loss over the past 24 hours, CryptoQuant said. In crypto markets, capitulation typically refers to investors selling after prices fall, often locking in losses during periods of acute stress. Flows from short-term holders to exchanges are closely tracked because they can signal panic selling and potential near-term volatility.
