BlockBeats News, February 7 — Glassnode released a report on social media stating that around Halloween last year, on-chain investor behavior had already signaled a potential shift into a bear market. Within approximately 100 days thereafter, prices experienced a decline of about 45% (from $110,000 to $60,000).
“Long-term Holder Profit Taking Pressure” data shows that since November 1, long-term holders have realized an additional profit of approximately 318,000 BTC. This unusually large-scale sell-off in a weak market continues to exert downward pressure on prices. However, since early December, the amount of coins held by long-term holders has begun to increase, indicating that their selling activity has slowed.
“Market Loss Level” data indicates that at the $60,000 price level, the ratio has reached about 24%, significantly above the threshold for market transition from bull to bear. This suggests the market has entered a deep bear phase but has not yet reached the extreme panic sell-off stage of over 50%, implying that the market is currently in the process of bursting a bubble.
Additionally, since reaching the previous high in October, the price has consistently failed to stay above the cost basis of the top 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20% large holders. At the $60,000 level, the price is about 37% below the cost basis of the top 20% holdings (approximately $95,000), indicating that high-position buyers are under severe psychological pressure, similar to the market structure in May 2022.

BTC dips slightly by 0.53% in 15 minutes: whale transfers increase sell pressure and amplified liquidity widen the short-term drop
From 17:45 to 18:00 (UTC) on 2026-04-19, within 15 minutes BTC’s spot price fell -0.53%, with a price range of 74648.4 to 75212.8 USDT and a swing of 0.75%. During this period, market attention increased, volatility clearly accelerated, and the magnitude of the abnormal move exceeded typical levels for the same timeframe.
The main driver behind this abnormal move was that large-whale accounts concentrated transfers of BTC to a certain major exchange; the All Exchanges Whale Ratio (EMA14) rose to a near-ten-month high, and sell pressure increased significantly in a short time, becoming a direct cause of the spot price decline.
