Bitcoin holders are experiencing losses for the first time since October 2023, with 69,000 Bitcoins, valued at $6.1 billion, in the red since December, according to CryptoQuant. The blockchain research firm notes that this pattern resembles the 2021–2022 bull-to-bear transition. Bitcoin's price has dropped nearly 30% from its October peak of $126,080 to $89,195, marking a 16% decline over the past year. CryptoQuant's report highlights a shift from profit-taking to loss realization over the past 30 days, with annual net realized profits falling from 4.4 million Bitcoins in October to 2.5 million now. This trend raises concerns of a potential bear market similar to March 2022. However, some experts argue that factors like lower interest rates and increased institutional involvement could support a price rally, despite recent heavy selling by large holders.
