Bitcoin Unrealized Profits Surge Above 120%, BTC Exchange Volume Tumbles, Signs of Concern?

The Bitcoin (BTC) price has been recently consolidating in a very tight range of $65,000-$66,000 amid investor boredom and apathy with a staggering 87% of the circulating supply currently sitting in profit. If the BTC price fails to give a decisive upside, we could be seeing profit booking as well leading to a BTC price drop to $60,000.

A Look At Bitcoin MVRV Ratio

As per the Glassnode Researchers, the Bitcoin market value to realized value (MVRC) metric shows that the average coin holds an unrealized profit is around 120%, last seen during the Bitcoin ATH in March. Interstingly, the MVRV ratio remains above the baseline highlighting that the macro uptrend remains intact.

As of now, the Bitcoin price is stabilizing and consolidating between the standard deviation range of 0.5 to 1.0. This shows that despite the choppy market conditions, investors are sitting on higher profits.

Ever since the March all-time high levels, the BTC price has been unable to sustain the upward journey. This shows that the BTC demand is not increasing sufficiently to establish a decisive upward momentum.

This indicates that LTHs have reached a state of equilibrium, where price adjustments—either higher or lower—are needed to prompt more active trading behavior among this group.
