Bitcoin Supply in Loss Approaching Bear Levels

According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, the profitable and loss-making amounts in Bitcoin supply are approaching bear market levels. Currently, approximately 11.2 million BTC are in profitable positions, while the loss-making BTC amount has reached 8.2 million. At the lowest point of the previous bear market, profitable BTC was 9 million, and loss-making was 10.6 million. Glassnode data also confirms that the loss-making supply has reached levels not seen since the end of 2022. This situation indicates a market valuation similar to the undervaluation in previous bear conditions.

Bitrue Research Leader Andri Fauzan Adziima states that the data shows increasing market stress but is far from real capitulation levels; in 2022, loss-making supply was above 50%. BTC has declined 52% from its peak in this cycle, less than the 77-84% losses in previous bear markets. These ratios can also be examined on our BTC detailed analysis pages.

Macro Factors: Strong DXY and Weak CNY

Bitcoin writer Timothy Peterson stated that the strong US dollar index (DXY) and weak Chinese yuan are hindering recovery, with DXY rising 5% in the last two months. These factors are increasing pressure on BTC’s futures market.
