Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Barely Profiting? You Won’t Believe These 13% Gains! 😳📉

by

Okay, so Bitcoin—heard of it?—is just hanging around, loitering between $115,000 and $120,000. It finally pulls back from some fresh all-time high (because, of course, we were all getting a little too comfortable, right?), and now everyone’s waiting to see what happens. But, surprise surprise, the folks who jumped in for the short-term? Yeah, they’re making profits so small it’s almost cute—like finding a nickel on the sidewalk. Mazel tov, you made 13%—don’t spend it all in one place! 🎉

A Tight Profit Window For Short-Term Bitcoin Holders

We’ve got CryptoQuant, the “on-chain data analytics” heroes (honestly, just give ‘em a cape already), reporting that these short-term holders are, frankly, hanging by a thread. Darkfost—love the name, sounds like he moonlights as a supervillain—points out that on-chain traders are scraping together a 13% gain. Apparently, these are the folks glued to their screens, refreshing charts on the spot market, riding every little bump like it’s the Coney Island Cyclone. 🎢

But wait, there’s more: short-term, in this wild west, means people who’ve held Bitcoin for one to three months. These are not the HODLers, folks. These are the sprinters. The get-rich-quick crowd. And yet, here they are, making 13%. It’s not even enough to brag to your in-laws. (“You bought what? And only made 13%? I’ve seen better yields at the deli counter!”)

Turns out, even at Bitcoin’s hottest, short-termers’ peak profit this round was 69%. (Nice. But not that nice.) And it’s dropping. You look at years past—2012, 2021—these people were making out like bandits. 232% in 2012! 150% in 2021! Now? It’s like they’re playing in the minor leagues, hoping someone buys them peanuts and cracker jack. 🥜

The quick math? In grand old bull runs, the little guys ran away with bags of profit. Now, they’re looking at 13% and telling themselves it “could be worse.” Sure, you could lose it all and be explaining NFTs to your barber for free haircuts. But hey, capitalism, am I right?

Realized Price For Short-Term BTC Holders At The $104,000 Mark

So, Darkfost (“Coming to a theater near you!”) says the average realized price sits pretty at $104,000. These short-term holders? They’re hanging on, knuckles white, because if things go south, we might see a Bitcoin yard sale. “Come get your BTC, gently used, only panicked on Sundays!”

If, by some miracle or misfortune, things get much worse, maybe these holders finally give up and sell. If that happens, cue the dramatic music and let the price correction commence! On the flip side, the professional sharks are waiting—they LOVE a dip! They’re circling, wallets out, ready to snack on your broken dreams. 🍩

It’s tense. If this wobbly trend keeps up, we could see either a grand comeback or another episode of “As The Bitcoin Turns.” Either way, keep your popcorn ready, because the next move could be something to watch. Or not. What do I know, I sold at $900.

And for those keeping score at home: Bitcoin’s at $118,861, up 0.55% in the last 24 hours—so someone, somewhere, is uncorking a bottle of seltzer. Meanwhile, trading volume jumped 18.35%. Investors are apparently waking up from their naps and buying—in true lemming fashion. Stay tuned, because this saga is far from over. 🎬
