Bitcoin Slips Below $75K as Holders Start Selling — Here's What 'Active Distribution' Actually Means

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of Bitcoin's market like a crowded concert. When everyone is rushing in (buying), the energy builds and prices go up. But eventually, some people start heading for the exits (selling) to beat the crowd. 'Active distribution' is essentially a measure of how many people are heading for the exits at once. When this metric rises, it means more Bitcoin holders — especially those who bought earlier at lower prices — are selling to take profits. For newcomers, this is an important signal to understand: just because the price has been going up doesn't mean it will keep going up in a straight line. These cooling-off periods are normal, but they're worth paying attention to because they can sometimes turn into bigger pullbacks.
