On-chain data shows Bitcoin is currently not satisfying a condition that has historically occurred alongside major bottoms in the price.<\/p>\n
In a new post<\/a> on X, James V. Straten, a research and data analyst, has pointed out how BTC isn’t fulfilling the bottom condition for the supply in profit and loss metrics.<\/p>\n The “supply in profit<\/a>” here naturally refers to the total amount of Bitcoin supply currently carrying an unrealized profit. Similarly, the “supply in loss<\/a>” keeps track of the number of underwater coins.<\/p>\n These indicators work by going through the on-chain history of each coin in circulation to see what price it was last transferred at. If this previous price for any coin was less than the current BTC spot price, then that particular coin is being held at a profit, and the supply in profit adds to its value. On the other hand, the coins with a higher cost basis are counted by the supply in loss.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in both these Bitcoin metrics over the entire history of the cryptocurrency:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the graph, the analyst has highlighted a specific pattern that these two indicators have shown during historical bottoms in the cryptocurrency’s price. It would appear that the supply in profit dips below the supply in loss during these periods of lows, implying that most of the market enters into a state of loss.<\/p>\n Generally, investors in profit are more likely to sell, so whenever the supply in profit is at very high values, tops become more probable for Bitcoin. Similarly, a large number of investors instead of being in loss should mean there wouldn’t be too many sellers left.<\/p>\nLooks like the two metrics are still far apart in value currently | Source: @jimmyvs24 on X<\/a><\/pre>\n
