<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-35-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Glassnode</a> finds that the market is reaching equilibrium with the flow of money into Bitcoin slowing down in the last few months. The findings indicate that this type of slowdown is rare with major price movements likely to follow.
Meanwhile, short-term Bitcoin holders are reportedly bearing most of the losses. However, they are now holding the asset for more than 155 days, becoming long-term holders. However, most of these long-term holders are currently holding BTC at a loss.
The MVRV Ratio, which shows how much profit investors have made, has returned to its average value of 1.72. The Glassnode research explains that this signals a shift between a bull market and a bear market as the excitement from the Bitcoin ETFs has settled down. In addition, the Bitcoin sell-side risk ratio is also low, indicating that most transactions are happening at their purchase price.
The report also reveals that investors will make about $15 million a day if they sell their holdings, much lower than the $3.6 billion a day they would have made when Bitcoin hit its all-time high (ATH) of $73k in March.
