Most BTC short-term holders are at a loss, analysis finds

Most Bitcoin short-term holders are currently at a loss, which could lead to increased selling pressure if the price rebounds, according to an analysis by CryptoQuant. In a post on X, the on-chain analytics firm noted that the average purchase price, or realized price, for this cohort is now higher than the current market price. These investors hold approximately 5.7 million BTC, with only 8% currently in a profitable position. "This could lead to increased selling pressure with every price rebound," CryptoQuant stated.
