The on-chain data provider says that this metric is about long term Bitcoin investors (HODLers) and it tracks their position change regarding Bitcoin on a monthly basis. When the metric goes negative, this is indicative of hodlers selling their BTC and withdrawing their profits.

When the net position change of hodlers goes up, this means long term investors are opening new positions in Bitcoin.
