This Cohort Is the Main Force Behind Bitcoin’s Resistance in Price

CoinDesk
Existing Bitcoin holders realizing profits are the primary source of selling pressure resisting the price increase.

Summary

Bitcoin recently experienced an 18% correction from its all-time high, aligning with typical bull market retracements. Analyst Checkmate asserts that the main source of sell-side pressure, causing price resistance, is not manipulation but existing Bitcoin holders taking profits. Revived supply has hit a cycle high of $2.9 billion per day, with 47% of selling pressure coming from coins held for six months to one year, suggesting recent buyers are realizing gains. This profit-taking is further evidenced by realized profits surging to about $1.7 billion daily, while realized losses have also climbed, indicating significant profit-taking is weighing on the price.
