Altcoin Sell Pressure Hits Fresh Multi-Year Low, Says CryptoQuant
- CryptoQuant reports altcoin selling has reached its weakest level in five years.
- Spot market sellers continue to dominate buyers across alternative cryptocurrencies.
- No confirmed bottom has emerged after more than 15 months of distribution.
Altcoin Sell Pressure has reached a new multi-year low, according to the latest market data from CryptoQuant. The analytics platform reports that spot market selling continues to outweigh buying across alternative cryptocurrencies, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum. The trend has now extended for more than 15 months, highlighting the lack of sustained demand despite periodic market rebounds.
Altcoin Sell Pressure Reaches Another Historic Extreme
CryptoQuant contributor IT Tech shared updated data showing that Altcoin Sell Pressure continues to intensify. The indicator tracks the cumulative difference between buy and sell volume in the spot market for altcoins, excluding Bitcoin and Ether.
A falling reading signals that more traders are selling than buying. The metric already reached a five-year low during June but has since moved even lower. According to the analyst, the latest decline reflects ongoing distribution across the broader altcoin market rather than fresh accumulation.
The indicator reversed sharply after peaking in early 2025. Since then, the market has remained locked in persistent net selling with little evidence of a sustained recovery.
Altcoin Sell Pressure Highlights Weak Market Demand
The latest reading suggests buyers remain reluctant to absorb the growing supply entering the market. CryptoQuant estimates the cumulative buy and sell volume difference has fallen to roughly negative $209 billion, the weakest level recorded since the platform began tracking the metric in 2020.
While many investors continue waiting for a broad altcoin recovery, the current data shows supply continues to dominate demand. IT Tech described the trend as continuous distribution without any meaningful pause or confirmed market floor.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
