Bitcoin's realized net profit and loss indicator shows that the market is currently recovering, and the proportional structure of profits and losses is similar to the situation in early March this year , when the price of Bitcoin reached a high in mid-March. The increase in this indicator reflects the increase in profits realized by investors and the turn to positive market sentiment, which may indicate that prices may rise further in the future.

4. Long-term Bitcoin holders reduce their holdings
According to on-chain data , long-term Bitcoin holders have seen a significant decline in their net positions, with the red bar chart showing a gradual increase in selling pressure. Since mid-October, the net position changes of long-term holders have turned from positive to negative, showing that some long-term investors have begun to gradually take profits. This phenomenon is especially obvious when the price of Bitcoin rises to near new highs, indicating that a part of the capital in the market chooses to make profits at high levels.

According to on-chain data , this week’s data on long- and short-term Bitcoin holders shows that as the price rises, the positions of short-term holders (red line) increase significantly, while the positions of long-term holders (blue line) decrease. This trend shows that short-term investors actively enter the market during the upward price stage, further boosting market vitality; in contrast, some long-term holders choose to take profits at this time.
Increases in short-term holders' positions often reflect optimism in market sentiment, as short-term funds are more susceptible to market news. The reduction in positions of long-term holders may reduce market stability, and attention should be paid to potential short-term correction risks.

7. Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index

This week, Bitcoin's short-term on-chain cost benchmark band shows that the price is close to the upper track (red line) of $96,800 , reflecting rising market sentiment and the increased willingness of short-term investors to make profits. The realized price for long-term holders (blue line) is $68,700 .
In the short term, the price may face resistance at the upper track, and the risk of a correction increases. It needs to be observed whether it can stabilize at a high level to support further upward movement.
