Three-quarters of short-term Bitcoin holders are now profitable, potentially giving Bitcoin’s price additional upward momentum.
This is thanks to Bitcoin’s recent rally, as <a href="https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-30-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">outlined</a> in a July 24 report by Glassnode:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “This rally has now broken back above the STH cost basis and returned 75% of their held supply to an unrealized profit. This can be seen within the STH-MVRV metric, which has now recovered above the break-even level of 1.0.”

Bitcoin’s price rally offers significant relief for short-term holders, the cohort that saw over 90% of its supply in the red during late July.
The short-term holder cohort is often used as a proxy for investors looking to gauge Bitcoin demand and recent buying patterns.

Bitcoin’s price managed to settle above a key support level, despite a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-drop-63k-futures-expiry">$3.9 billion BTC futures expiry</a>&nbsp;that threatened to take it to the $63,000 mark.
Following the rally, Bitcoin needs to hold above the current $65,000 mark, which acts as a key support, according to popular crypto analyst Rekt Capital, who <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1816749734268149839/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">wrote</a> in a July 26 X post:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “The retest was successful. Bitcoin has confirmed $65,000 as support. Price will now continue to occupy the $65000-$71500 region (red).”

Despite the bullish price recovery, Bitcoin faces significant resistance at the psychological $68,000 mark.
Nearly $700 million worth of cumulative leveraged short positions stand to be liquidated across all exchanges if Bitcoin manages to rise above the $68,000 mark, according to CoinGlass <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/pro/futures/LiquidationMap" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">data</a>.

Short liquidations would surpass $1 billion above the $68,500 mark, but reaching that level would depend on the inflows from the US spot Bitcoin <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/different-types-of-etfs">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a>.
