      <p>The number of Bitcoin ($BTC) coins in profit has dropped sharply from 19.8M to 11.2M, signaling that high-entry holders are selling at a loss. Long-term metrics suggest the market is entering a stress zone, historically a point where smart money starts accumulating. Analysts note that as weaker hands exit, stronger hands step in, making this a potential buying opportunity for institutional and long-term investors.</p>

     <div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow">
      <p>According to QCP analysis, Bitcoin ($BTC) dipped to a post-election low of $72.9K before bouncing back to test $75K. The move saw falling futures open interest and negative funding, signaling deleveraging. Options data shows high short-term volatility and steeper downside risk, hinting at potential near-term weakness. Analysts say $75K is a key level: holding it encourages buying, while a break could trigger a more defensive market stance.</p>
