It shouldn't. You haven't sold any coin you are just moving coins between different UTXOs you control. Keeping track of the actual buy price of each and then the sell price when you actually sell is what's important.

Also I don't know that Bitcoin has short/long term differences but I could be wrong on that.

I'm not a lawyer or CPA or even a remotely competent adult. So this is not advice by any stretch.
