Bitcoin has been trading between $81,000 and $86,000 over the past week, showing signs of indecision in the market. While some indicators suggest a bearish outlook, recent data hints that the bull run might still be alive.
Bitcoin Investors Are Feeling the Pressure – But Not Panicking Yet
Blockchain analytics firm Glassnode reports that short-term Bitcoin holders (STH) are experiencing growing losses. This group of investors tends to react quickly to price drops, so their behavior often signals market trends.
🔹 Unrealized Losses Are Rising: These investors are holding Bitcoin at a loss but haven’t sold yet.
🔹 Current Losses Still Fit a Bull Market Pattern: While STHs are under pressure, the losses are nowhere near the panic levels seen in past bear markets.
📊 Key Comparisons:
- Current STH realized losses: $7 billion (largest in this cycle)
- May 2021 market crash losses: $19.8 billion
- 2022 bear market losses: $20.7 billion
Since past bear markets saw much larger sell-offs, there’s a chance the Bitcoin rally isn’t over yet.
Bitcoin Price Update: Choppy But Holding Strong
📈 As of now, Bitcoin is trading at around $84,300, up 0.3% in the past 24 hours.
📉 Over the past week, BTC is down just 0.6%, showing that the market is still in a consolidation phase.
If Bitcoin holds above this range and demand picks up, we could see another leg up in the bull market. But if losses deepen, selling pressure could increase.
