Some of Bitcoin’s most trusted bottom signals rest on the simple assumption that when old coins move, something meaningful has changed. Traders and analysts often interpret that as renewed selling, fresh distribution, or signs that the market hasn’t bottomed. That logic helped turn HODL Waves, Coin Days Destroyed, and long-term holder supply into some of the most widely used metrics in Bitcoin cycle analysis. The problem with that is that Bitcoin’s blockchain records movements and has no way of showing the motive behind them. On Nov. 22, 2025, Coinbase said it was transferring BTC and ETH from its legacy wallets to new internal wallets as part of a routine security practice. The company said the transfers were planned, internal, and unrelated to any breach or market event. But on-chain, it looked like a huge block of old coins suddenly waking up. If Coinbase hadn’t published the announcement beforehand, it would have taken some time before the movement stopped looking like pure selling pressure. At the time, CryptoSlate reported that the company moved nearly 800,000 BTC, representing roughly 4% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply and worth around $69.5 billion at the time. That’s large enough to overwhelm raw age-based readings and distort the story traders think the chart is telling. Why Bitcoin traders trust age-based signals so much HODL Waves are one of the most widely used metrics because they compress a wide range of holder behavior into a single view. It’s a macro snapshot of coin age across the total supply. As coins remain dormant, they mature into older age bands. So, when those same coins move, they leave those older bands and re-enter the youngest category. Analysts use that shift to judge whether long-term holders are still sitting tight and whether older supply is being spent. That framework became popular because it fit the rhythm of Bitcoin cycles. In bear markets, traders look for signs that weak hands are gone, long-term holders are absorbing supply, and the available pool of sellers has thinned out. High levels of long-term holder supply often support that interpretation. That’s why these metrics carry so much weight in down markets. They often appear cleaner than price alone, because price can bounce and fail, and derivatives can quickly turn into noise. Age-based supply, on the other hand, is slower, sturdier, and looks much closer to actual conviction. That is also why it’s such a massive event when one custodian’s wallet reorganization can shift the data and create a false impression of real holder behavior. Coinbase said on-chain data would show very large volumes of BTC and ETH moving from existing to new wallets, and that deposit addresses and normal customer activity wouldn’t be affected. It said it was a planned internal migration tied to security standards and said explicitly that it was unrelated to any data breach or external threat. CryptoSlate’s reporting explained why the move looked so dramatic on-chain even though the beneficial owner didn’t change: Bitcoin analytics tools register spent outputs, transaction volume, and age resets immediately, while wallet labels and entity-level interpretation often catch up later. If a large holder sells, ownership changes, and the potential sell-side liquidity changes with it. But if a large exchange moves coins from one internal wallet cluster to another, the blockchain still records those coins as spent and recreated. For age-sensitive charts, those two events can look nearly identical at first glance, even though one reflects genuine distribution and the other is just internal wallet maintenance. Why a wallet reshuffle can look like Bitcoin holders are selling HODL Waves change when dormant coins mature into older age

New Delhi [India], March 15 (ANI): Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has opened up about the decision to back World No. 1 T20I batter Abhishek Sharma, who scored three ducks in a row during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which the Men in Blue successfully defended by defeating New Zealand by 96 runs in Ahmedabad.
The Indian opener, who entered the tournament with high expectations, saw a low string of scores with three straight ducks in Group A matches against the USA, Pakistan, and the Netherlands. Abhishek scored a half-century against Zimbabwe during the Super 8 stage before the final.
Yet on the biggest stage of the Final, Abhishek rediscovered his form, smashing 52 off 21 balls and registering the fastest fifty of the 2026 edition in just 18 deliveries, which helped India to post a monstrous total of 255.
Speaking on JioHotstar, the Indian head coach Gambhir recalled his own difficult phase during the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2014 and said such lean patches are part of a cricketer’s journey.
Gautam Gambhir backed Abhishek, saying the player is not out of form but simply ‘out of runs’, while urging him to play with more aggression and ignore outside criticism.
‘I’ve had a worse experience than him in 2014 during the IPL, when I got three ducks in a row and then another in the fourth game as well. All I told him was that people will look at your scores and will talk about your form, but actually, you are not out of form; you are just out of runs. The only time you can judge your form is when you have played 20 to 30 balls in the middle, and he hasn’t even faced 20 balls yet. All I wanted him to do was go out there in the next game and be even more aggressive compared to what he was in the previous game,’ Gambhir said.
The head coach also encouraged the World No.1 T20I batter to play fearlessly and stay committed to his natural attacking approach.
‘If you want to hit the first ball out of the ground, go and do it, and commit yourself to it 100 per cent because it really doesn’t matter what the world thinks about you. All that matters is what those 30 people in the dressing room think about you, and that is exactly what should matter to all the boys,’ he added.
Expressing confidence in the team, Gambhir said the dressing room always had full faith in every player selected to represent the country in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
‘There was no doubt whatsoever about Abhishek. For anyone, to be honest, in that dressing room, we always had faith and trust in everyone who was selected to represent the country in the T20 World Cup,’ Gambhir said.
Team India made history by securing a record-breaking third T20 World Cup title and becoming the first-ever team to defend the title and win it as a home nation following a brilliant 96-run win over New Zealand at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. (ANI)

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 14 (ANI): Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir, along with skipper Surya Kumar Yadav, offered prayers at the Shree Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai on Saturday, with the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup trophy.
The Men in Blue beat New Zealand by 96 runs on Sunday to successfully defend their T20 World Cup title. The victory made India the first team to win the T20 World Cup on home soil, the first to win consecutive titles after their 2024 win, and the first to lift the trophy three times (2007, 2024, and 2026).
While speaking to ANI Acharya Pawan Tripathi, Treasurer of Siddhivinayak Temple Trust, on Gambhir and Surya’s visit, said, ‘After winning the T20 World Cup, Indian skipper Surya Kumar Yadav, coach Gautam Gambhir, and ICC Chairman Jay Shah came here to offer prayers. Even before the semi-final match, the entire team came here and took blessings from Bappa. Whether it is our trustees, pujari, or devotees, all have a feeling of patriotism.’
Suryakumar Yadav was India’s third-highest run-getter in the T20 World Cup. The right-handed batter amassed 242 runs in nine matches at an average of 30.25. The Indian skipper notched up one half-century in the marquee tournament.
India topped Group A with an unbeaten record, though they suffered a setback in the Super Eight stage, losing to South Africa by 76 runs. The Men in Blue bounced back in style, defeating West Indies in a virtual quarter-final, England in the semi-final, and ultimately New Zealand in the final.
The champions of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, India, will receive USD 2,639,423, while the runners-up, New Zealand, will take home USD 1,422,692. South Africa, on the other hand, will get USD 1,005,577 and England are going to get USD 974,423.

In a move some have called ‘a God moment’ of interdenominational unity, an Assemblies of God church swapped buildings with a Baptist church in a small East Texas town, allowing each congregation to thrive in their new space. Southside Baptist Church (SBC) in Carthage, Texas, was running about 50 people in a 46,000-square-foot building that was draining all the church’s resources, including the congregation’s energy. Kirby Hill, pastor of SBC, noticed Faith Assembly of God outgrowing its space, so he proposed to Senior Pastor David Baze in October 2024 a building swap to better serve both churches. Through God’s direction and a lot of supernatural unity, both boards and congregations voted overwhelmingly to complete the trade. Gaylan Claunch, superintendent for the North Texas District of the Assemblies of God (NTDAG), likened the swap to something rooted in Psalm 118:23, which says ‘this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our sight.’ Your tax-deductible gift supports our mission of reporting the truth and restoring the church.

(Photo AG News) Baze, who also serves as a presbyter for NTDAG, ‘encountered a God moment’ at a time when they needed more room for growth and ministry, according to Claunch. ‘At the same time, Kirby Hill was praying along with his congregation about the need for different facilities,’ Claunch says. ‘Probably the least likely answer to prayer was that the two congregations swapped their churches, resulting in growth for both, a vibrant witness to the local community, and a remarkable season of unity and ministry expansion. We rejoice with both Faith Assembly and Southside Baptist as two godly pastors led this incredible story.’ Faith Assembly’s new building, the former Baptist church, needed some renovations, but God miraculously provided, including random strangers who asked to hook up their recreational vehicle outside the church. The couple then donated their RV (valued at almost $80,000) to Faith Assembly. Faith Assembly then received a nearly two-thirds discounted rate on the congregation’s property insurance from the original quote. Through all of this, no monies were exchanged and it has been something that has inspired community members. Gayla Wilson, a resident of Carthage, which has a population of around approximately 6,600, says her first reaction to the trade was ‘just wow.’ ‘Every time we had driven past Faith Assembly before, that body of believers looked like they were bursting at the seams,’ she recalls. ‘The parking lot was always full and you could just see the growth. When I learned that one congregation needed more space while the other needed to downsize, it just seemed like such a perfect fit. ‘To me, it felt like one of those situations where everyone wins,’ Wilson, 70, adds. ‘It’s practical, it makes sense, and more than that, I truly believe God is blessing both churches through it. It’s encouraging to see two congregations work together in a way that strengthens them both and continues the work of the kingdom.’ Baze, 64, who has pastored Faith Assembly for 24 years, notes that his initial reaction to the proposal was ‘shock and disbelief.’ ‘For my church board, it was even more so because of the insurance, increased utilities, repairs and updates needed,’ he explains. ‘Would our congregation of 100 be swallowed up in a sanctuary that size?’ ‘I believe it was God’s direction and timing for both churches,’ Baze
