Bitcoin support weakens, but short-term buying emerges?

Recently, the price of Bitcoin has hovered around $63,900. Behind the high-level consolidation, on-chain support and short-term buying have given a set of hedging signals. According to a single source, the current unrealized profit ratio is about 65.8%, significantly lower than the historical average of about 81%, while the unrealized loss ratio stands at about 34.2%. Overall, it still shows a predominance of floating profits, but CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost points out that this profit ratio continues to decline, indicating that while the market has not entered a "loss-dominant" state, the overall support is weakening. Concurrently, the realized pressure model for short-term holders is showing a shift: according to CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr., the buying pressure score for short-term holders is about 30%, while the selling pressure score is about 22%, with selling pressure at a multi-month low. The model has once again shifted to buyer dominance, structurally similar to the pattern observed earlier in the current cycle (for example, after the correction in February of this year). The chips are transferring from short-term holders to stronger buyers. In other words, while the price is consolidating at a high level, on-chain profits are slowly being consumed, marginal support is weakening, but short-term selling pressure has been suppressed, and buying has re-emerged. Bitcoin currently appears to be in a power accumulation period after a correction, but whether this buying can fill the "gap" left by declining support becomes the core uncertainty for the next market trend.

Cooling Profits: Unrealized Gains are Slowly Being Consumed

Corresponding to the short-term holder pressure model, from the overall position structure, the ratio of unrealized profits/losses resembles a "whole market floating profit/loss distribution table": if everything were sold at this moment, how much of the position would be in the profitable range, and how much would turn into a bookkeeping loss? According to a single source, the current unrealized profit ratio is about 65.8%, significantly lower than the historical average of about 81%, indicating that compared to past cycles, a considerable amount of floating profits has been passively "eaten away" during the consolidation at high levels, leading to a narrowing of overall profit space in the market. Meanwhile, the unrealized loss ratio is about 34.2%. In the context of prices still hovering around $63,900 without significant declines, these losses more reflect chips that have been trapped during the consolidation phase of buying at high levels.

According to Darkfost, based on a single source, the current structure is still characterized by profitable holdings dominating rather than loss dominating. However, the continuing decline in the unrealized profit ratio indicates that the layer of "profit cushion" below the price is thinning, and on-chain support is significantly weakened compared to previous cycles. In comparison to historical bear market phases, the unrealized loss ratio has often exceeded the unrealized profit ratio, forming a typical "loss-dominant" pattern. However, the current unrealized loss ratio of about 34.2% has not yet pressed down the profit ratio, suggesting that the market has not yet entered an extreme bear market scenario. Nevertheless, Darkfost believes there remains uncertainty about whether this cycle will end without experiencing a loss-dominant phase, indicating that it is currently more like a transitional phase where the profit cushion is thinning but has not yet fallen into a typical bear market loss-dominance zone.

Short-term Chips Shift to Buyers: Selling Pressure Falls to Multi-month Low

While the unrealized profit cushion continues to thin, according to a single source's on-chain monitoring, the realized pressure model for short-term holders has also shown a noticeable tilt. This model measures the pressure distribution when short-term holders actually sell or buy. Currently, the buying pressure score is about 30%, while the selling pressure score is about 22%, with the overall structure returning to buyer dominance. Axel Adler Jr. points out that this change occurs when the indicators are at low points, meaning short-term participants are more inclined to accumulate rather than sell during actual transactions.

More importantly, according to a single source, the selling pressure of short-term holders has dropped to a multi-month low, indicating that active sellers are retreating and the impulse of short-term chips to sell has significantly weakened. Axel Adler Jr. believes that in this combination of dominant buying pressure and low selling pressure, chips are transferring from short-term holders to stronger buyers, which is typically viewed as a characteristic of an accumulation phase, reflecting that the current market is more about completing chip redistribution during high-level consolidation rather than entering a downward cycle dominated by panic selling.

Reproducing February's Rhythm? Memories of Rebound After Correction

According to a single source, a similar buyer-dominant pattern among short-term holders was observed earlier in this cycle. At that time, Bitcoin underwent a correction, and on-chain data showed that short-term selling pressure clearly retreated first, after which short-term buying pressure re-emerged, forming a rhythm of "correction—weakening short-term selling pressure—buying relays," leading to a subsequent rebound in prices. The brief does not provide specific numeric values for buying and selling pressure at that time but emphasizes the structural shift: from active selling pressure dominating short-term chips to short-term funds actively taking positions at low levels, which provided momentum for subsequent price recovery.

In comparison to the current situation, Axel Adler Jr. presents a realized pressure model for short-term holders indicating that buying pressure is about 30%, selling pressure is about 22%, with short-term selling pressure at a multi-month low. According to a single source, this "buyer dominance + bottoming selling pressure" shape bears similarities to the period before the rebound following February's correction. Coupled with Bitcoin's recent price hovering around $63,900, and the decline in unrealized profit ratios and the passive thinning of market support, this structure of short-term buying re-emerging and chips shifting from short-term holders to stronger buyers can indeed be easily interpreted as "accumulating power after a correction." However, it is important to emphasize that the current on-chain indicators and the February phase are only similar in form, and since all data comes from a single source, it cannot be inferred that the price path will be completely "reproduced." A more rational approach is to consider this structure as a signal to be interpreted alongside other indicators and market contexts, rather than a direct bet on a rebound script.

Accumulation Period or Trap: Confrontation of Bulls and Bears Amid Weakening Support

While the price of Bitcoin remains in the high-level consolidation around $63,900, according to a single source A, the unrealized profit ratio has fallen to about 65.8%, a significant retreat from the historical average of about 81%, while the unrealized loss ratio stands at about 34.2%. This means that overall, it is still profit-dominant, but the "profit cushion" is continuously being consumed. Darkfost therefore believes that market support is thinning, contrasting with the intuitive feeling of "not being able to fall." Concurrently, a counter-trend change in the behavior of short-term holders is also evident: Axel Adler Jr.'s realized pressure model for short-term holders shows a buying pressure of about 30%, selling pressure of about 22%, with selling pressure at a multi-month low. The chips are shifting from short-term holders to stronger buyers, resembling a typical accumulation phase rather than a complete distribution peak.

On top of this set of contradictory signals of "weakening support + chips being absorbed by stronger hands," two main scenarios can currently be deduced: firstly, if short-term selling pressure is gradually cleared in this high-level consolidation, while the unrealized loss ratio remains pressed below the unrealized profit ratio, then this correction will be closer to a healthy handover accumulation, setting the stage for the next upward movement; secondly, if the unrealized profit ratio continues to decline, and the unrealized loss ratio eventually surpasses it, combined with short-term selling pressure re-emerging, then the pattern will lean toward the "loss-dominant phase" common in historical bear markets. This high-level consolidation may later be seen as a trap rather than an accumulation window. Given that all indicators come from a single source and this cycle may not replicate past paths, a more rational approach currently is to regard whether the unrealized loss ratio exceeds the unrealized profit ratio, and whether short-term selling pressure rises again as key observational variables for judging whether the market is indeed accumulating or sliding toward a trap.

Understanding Single Source Indicators: Don't Rely on Just One Chart for Trading Decisions

The unrealized profit/loss ratios, short-term holder buying and selling pressure, and Bitcoin's high-level fluctuations around $63,900 (according to a single source) mentioned in the text all come from the same data provider A. Furthermore, the report does not specify the exact statistical window and calculation details for these indicators, such as whether the unrealized profit/loss ratio is aggregated daily, weekly, or over longer periods (according to a single source), and from which month the selling pressure of short-term holders at "multi-month lows" is calculated, or how low it is relative to historical lows (according to a single source). Additionally, the specific publication date of the analyst report is unknown, leading to the use of vague time terms such as "recently" or "in recent days" (according to a single source). These limitations dictate that we only grasp the ratios and directions of the data, not a complete time series or methodology.

On-chain and behavioral indicators essentially depict probabilities and tendencies rather than pre-written price paths. An unrealized profit ratio dropping to about 65.8%, an unrealized loss ratio of about 34.2%, and a short-term holder buying pressure of about 30% with a selling pressure of about 22% (according to a single source) can at most indicate which structural state is currently closer but cannot be viewed alone as "buy/sell signals." Investors, when interpreting these, should place these on-chain signals within the same framework as the price's actual high-level fluctuation performance (according to a single source), changes in macro environments, and other information. They should also compare their own position structures and risk tolerance to avoid making high-leverage or high-concentration decisions based on just one on-chain chart or one historical analogy. In the current information condition, a more rational approach is to treat these single source indicators as auxiliary references, using them as one of several inputs when building a personal judgment system.
