According to the "Bitfinex Alpha" report, Bitcoin's journey to reaching a potential price point of $100,000 will depend on the balance between short-term holder (STH) demand and long-term holder (LTH) profit-taking. Despite a recent pullback, Bitcoin saw a record monthly close of $96,506 in November, with a 37.3% gain for the month. The report predicts a continuation of the upward trend in December, but also expects heightened volatility, especially as it coincides with the largest options expiry of the year. The sustained distribution of Bitcoin by LTHs is a crucial factor that could impact price conditions, and if the demand from STHs does not match the supply offloaded by LTHs, Bitcoin could experience further volatility and a deeper pullback. However, if STH demand exceeds LTH supply, Bitcoin could see continued upward momentum. The report suggests that if the market can absorb the supply from LTHs, the path to $100,000 becomes more likely. Traders and investors should remain vigilant and monitor supply trends and demand from STHs to gauge Bitcoin's next move.
