Bitcoin’s price jumped significantly in the last day as investors became more hopeful. It was trading at $72,521, successfully staying above a key support level of $72,294.
Although this recent increase is encouraging for now, the overall economic situation is still worrying, and many people are hesitant about what will happen with Bitcoin next.
Bitcoin’s Past Suggests Further Decline Ahead
The Percentage of Bitcoin Supply in Profit has fallen to around 57%, dropping below a key level that often suggests a major downturn. This means a smaller proportion of Bitcoin owners are currently seeing gains on their investments. Historically, this has been an early warning sign of a prolonged price drop, similar to what we saw in May 2022 and November 2018, both of which were followed by significant price declines.
A decrease in the Percent of Supply in Profit indicates more Bitcoin holders are experiencing losses, meaning they bought their Bitcoin at a higher price than its current value.

This situation usually leads to ongoing selling, making it less probable that the market will bounce back quickly. It indicates Bitcoin may be entering a longer period of decline, with prices likely to continue falling in the near future.
STHs’ Rising Profits Could Impact Bitcoin Negatively
Bitcoin’s Short-Term Holder Cost Basis Bands are showing a worrying sign. In the past, these bands have often indicated when Bitcoin reached its lowest price before bouncing back, especially during significant drops like those in June 2022 and March 2020. Usually, the price starts to recover when the average price paid by short-term holders (the ‘Realized Price’) acts as a support level.
Right now, the average price paid for Bitcoin (known as the STH realized price) is around $87,434. If Bitcoin’s price falls to this level, some investors who bought recently might sell their Bitcoin to avoid losses, potentially increasing the amount of Bitcoin available for sale.
This adds another worry, because it could prevent prices from recovering by pushing them down. If Bitcoin reaches a certain price point – the realized price for Short-Term Holders – it might encounter obstacles, making it harder for the price to keep going up.
BTC Price Is Escaping, But Can It Succeed?
As of today, Bitcoin is trading at $72,521, and it’s good news that it’s staying above the $72,294 mark – that level is really important for a potential price increase. However, my analysis is showing a lot of selling pressure right now, which suggests any recovery might take longer than expected. I’m seeing several indicators that suggest sellers are still in control.
If Bitcoin’s price keeps falling, it might have trouble getting past $75,000. If that happens, the price could drop further, potentially to $70,000 or even below $65,000. Currently, it seems Bitcoin needs a big change in how investors feel before it can start rising again.
If buyers push the price up in the near future, Bitcoin could climb above $75,000. Breaking through $78,363 would suggest the recent downward trend might be over and prices could start to rise. However, reaching $75,000 could be difficult, and some investors might sell quickly if Bitcoin tries to surpass that level.
