No. Rolling over your Roth IRA to another Roth IRA is not the same as opening a Roth IRA.

 

Transferring your Roth IRA to a different broker does not reset the 5-year holding period; the 5-year clock starts when you make your first contribution to any Roth IRA, and it applies to all your Roth IRAs, meaning a transfer between accounts does not restart the waiting period.
