Bitcoin’s Current Volatility Pushes Supply Held In Profit Below Historic Bull Thresholds

Bitcoin's current price decline below $77,000 has pushed the percentage of BTC supply held in profit down to approximately 61%. This level is notably below the typical 75%+ seen during historic bull markets, signaling a shift in market dynamics and weakening investor confidence. Analyst Darkfost notes that while this is not the extreme loss dominance of a bear market, the reduction in profitable supply creates a negative environment and reflects ongoing volatility. The key resistance level remains at $80,000, which aligns with the Short-Term Holders' Cost Basis and has consistently rejected price advances since late last year, increasing pressure on short-term investors and the potential for selling activity.

Eric Trump Sets A “Beyond Catastrophic” Bar To Sell Bitcoin — How Far Are We From That?

Eric Trump, Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin Corp., has declared that the company would only sell its Bitcoin holdings under circumstances he describes as "beyond catastrophic." In an interview, he framed this as a strategic commitment to permanent accumulation, driven by the goal of increasing "satoshis per share" and competing in both the race for the largest Bitcoin holdings and the lowest acquisition cost. The company mines its Bitcoin at a claimed 53% below spot price and retains all coins, drawing a distinction from Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy, which has signaled some flexibility. Trump's stance sets a new benchmark for long-term commitment in the Bitcoin treasury sector. As of the report, Bitcoin trades near $82,000, with American Bitcoin's treasury holding over 7,000 BTC.

BTC Market Pulse: Week 22

Bitcoin's price weakened in Week 22, falling from $79K to around $74K before a partial recovery, with momentum down 21.7%. While selling pressure appeared to ease based on CVD metrics, overall market activity cooled as spot volume and futures open interest declined, signaling reduced speculation and a more cautious backdrop. Contrasting signals emerged. A 135.4% surge in long-side funding payments pointed to strong demand for bullish bets. Meanwhile, options skew shifted slightly, indicating greater demand for downside protection. In TradFi, US Spot ETF netflows improved 28.9%, though trade volume fell sharply. On-chain data showed minor dips in active addresses and transfer volume, hinting at a consolidation phase. Liquidity metrics suggested a more stable market with higher conviction. However, profitability ratios flagged increased market stress, with a notable rise in loss realization versus profit-taking. In summary, the market displayed signs of moderation and consolidation, characterized by reduced activity, cautious sentiment, and a mixed picture of risk appetite.

Everyone Is Calling For Lower Bitcoin Price: Why This Is The Perfect Time To Go Parabolic

Crypto analyst Crypto Fergani argues that despite widespread bearish sentiment and calls for lower targets following Bitcoin's recent volatility, conditions are actually ripe for a parabolic surge. He points to major institutional accumulation and growing adoption as bullish fundamentals, dismissing the idea of an ongoing bear market. Comparing the current cycle to 2022, he predicts Bitcoin could rally over 72% from current levels above $74,000 toward $128,000, with altcoins potentially seeing massive gains. This contrasts with other analysts like Bee, who foresee a deeper correction toward $47,000-$52,000 as the final bottom before a new bull cycle begins.

Here’s The 411 Behind The Famous $50 XRP Candle On Gemini In 2023

Amid ongoing discussions about XRP's price, crypto analyst CharuSan revisited the infamous "$50 XRP candle" that occurred on the Gemini exchange in 2023. This event, where XRP's price briefly spiked to $50, was widely speculated to be a glitch. However, CharuSan explained it was a real market event caused by catastrophic slippage. The relisting of XRP on Gemini left order books with very low liquidity. A market buy order worth approximately $37,000 consumed all available sell orders until it hit a single sell order placed at the $50 level, causing the dramatic price surge. CharuSan argues this incident mathematically demonstrates why large financial institutions cannot rely solely on on-demand liquidity, especially during high volume. To handle billion-dollar cross-border transfers without causing massive slippage and freezing the system, tier-1 banks must maintain their own deep, pre-funded, and dedicated XRP liquidity pools. The event underscores that managing large institutional volumes requires controlled, bank-held liquidity to prevent traders from losing control over market prices and transactions. At the time of the analysis, XRP was trading around $1.38.

From 'I'd Rather Have a Banana' to Selling 80% of His Bitcoin: Mark Cuban's Love-Hate Relationship with Crypto

Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur and former Dallas Mavericks owner, has sold most of his Bitcoin holdings, stating it failed as a hedge against dollar weakness and geopolitical turmoil. He cited Bitcoin's drop during recent Iran tensions while gold rallied. Cuban's crypto journey began with skepticism in 2019, comparing Bitcoin to collectibles. He shifted during the 2021 bull market, publicly endorsing crypto and revealing a portfolio of 60% Bitcoin, 30% Ethereum. That same year, he suffered losses in the Iron Finance DeFi collapse. From 2022, his focus turned to legal battles, including a dismissed lawsuit over Voyager Digital promotion. By 2025, he expressed disappointment in crypto, particularly Bitcoin and NFTs. His seven-year arc mirrors a retail cycle from doubt to enthusiasm to disillusionment, with his views heavily influenced by price trends and macro events.

Bitcoin Opens New Opportunities As The MVRV Ratio Falls Below A Key Threshold

Bitcoin's near-term outlook appears bearish, with its price struggling below $80,000 amid high volatility. However, analysts like Ali Charts suggest this period may present a new buying opportunity. This is indicated by the Bitcoin MVRV Ratio falling below its 180-day Moving Average, a threshold historically associated with the market entering a discounted phase and often marking strategic accumulation points for investors. The $77,800 price level is identified as a critical short-term pivot. A decisive breakout above it could propel Bitcoin toward $79,000, while a rejection could lead to a retracement toward support levels at $76,900 or $76,000. The current consolidation under the MVRV 180-day MA is seen as a potential accumulation window before a potential upward move.

The Bitcoin Playbook To Know: Step 4 Says A Crash Is Coming, But Where’s The Bottom?

A crypto analyst's six-step framework, based on the 2021 market cycle, suggests Bitcoin is approaching a critical phase. According to Merlijn The Trader, BTC has already completed the distribution, small consolidation, and redistribution phases. The next projected step is a significant price crash into an accumulation range between $45,000 and $59,000, representing a potential decline of 24% to 42% from current levels near $77,500. However, a key condition exists: if Bitcoin can maintain a weekly close above the $78,000 level, this deeper correction phase could be skipped entirely, allowing the cycle to advance directly toward re-accumulation and a potential future rally.

XRP Whales Have Just Set An 8-Year Record, Is This The Start Of The Next Bull Run?

Large XRP holders, or "whales," have accumulated a record 68.5% of the token's circulating supply, an eight-year high according to Santiment data. This aggressive buying is reportedly absorbing supply from exchanges. Analysts suggest this concentration could lead to a thin sell-side, potentially setting the stage for a major price breakout if XRP can decisively close above its current trading range of $1.29-$1.50. Market expert Ali Martinez identifies this as a key compression zone; a break above $1.50 could trigger a rally toward $1.80, while a close below $1.29 might invalidate the bullish structure.

Bitcoin Holds Above $77K as Investors Search for Bottom Signal

Following a failed attempt to surpass $83,000 last week, the cryptocurrency market was subdued on Wednesday, with Bitcoin struggling to hold key support. The leading cryptocurrency traded around $77,400, up 0.7% on the day. Market sentiment was lifted by reduced geopolitical uncertainty after a US Senate vote to limit presidential war authority regarding Iran, alongside declines in oil and Treasury yields. Attention also turned to upcoming Federal Reserve meeting minutes. Analysts point to on-chain data, particularly the stabilization of Bitcoin's Realized Cap—a measure of the aggregate cost basis of all coins—as a potential signal that the worst of the recent decline may be over. After falling sharply from its peak, this indicator is showing signs of forming a base, reminiscent of behavior at the 2022 bear market lows. While a definitive market bottom is uncertain, the recovery above $77,000 and supportive metrics suggest the current downturn's most severe phase could have passed.
