Bitcoin: Nearly 92% of holders in profit, but signs of fragility emerge
As Bitcoin flirts with recent highs, one figure stands out: 92% of its circulating supply is currently in profit. This rarely reached threshold reflects a euphoric market. Yet several indicators highlight underlying weaknesses, urging caution.
Historic profitability calls for vigilance
According to data published by CryptoQuant, 92% of Bitcoin’s current supply was acquired at a lower price than its current level. In other words, the vast majority of holders are sitting on unrealized gains. Such a high level of profitability is often a hallmark of a late-stage bull market. Historically, this configuration has tended to precede corrective moves or phases of exhaustion.
This tension is compounded by rising net inflows to exchanges. Recent figures show more than $39 million worth of Bitcoin being transferred to trading platforms. This behavior may suggest a growing intention to sell — whether to secure profits or in anticipation of a possible pullback.
Technical indicators point to weakening
Beyond wallet dynamics, several fundamental metrics reveal a misalignment between Bitcoin’s current valuation and its actual activity. The Network Value to Metcalfe Ratio (NVM), which measures consistency between the network’s market capitalization and its usage, fell by 4.54%. A decline in this indicator reflects a disconnection between Bitcoin’s price and the strength of its network.
Another notable signal is the Stock-to-Flow model, long used to anticipate Bitcoin’s behavior based on its scarcity. It currently shows a deviation of –42.86% from its projections. Although criticized for its limitations, the model is still followed by part of the market. Its weakening feeds into a climate of uncertainty.
While insufficient on their own to predict a sharp reversal, these factors contribute to an accumulation of bearish signals. Taken together, they point to growing tension in a market increasingly sensitive to volatility.
Bitcoin now finds itself in a zone of unstable balance, caught between holder euphoria and signs of fragility. The challenge is to determine whether the market can turn this consolidation phase into a new bullish springboard, or if the early signs of exhaustion are starting to materialize.
