Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $66,000 after a recent recovery, marking the first time since March’s peak of $73,835. Despite a drop below $60,000 this week, Glassnode pointed out that various onchain metrics suggest the market could be on the verge of a significant change.
The recent surge in Bitcoin’s price, with BTC rising by 26.5% from a low of $52,550 on September 6 to a three-month high of $66,508 on September 27, closely resembles previous market cycles. Analysts at Glassnode compared the current recovery to similar patterns seen in 2015-2016 and 2019-2020 economic periods, indicating a potential shift in the ongoing downtrend.
According to Glassnode’s analysis, an increasing number of coins are transitioning into long-term holder (LTH) status, as evident from the supply ratio between long-term and short-term holders reaching its highest level since June 2021. This trend reflects a prevailing sentiment of “HODLing” among Bitcoin investors, indicating long-term confidence in the cryptocurrency’s growth potential.
The rise in LTH positions is viewed as a bullish sign historically, as it suggests a growing confidence among long-term investors in Bitcoin’s future prospects. Additionally, the report highlighted that a significant amount of Bitcoin purchased near the previous all-time high has matured past a key threshold, with LTHs holding unrealized losses but facing minimal financial pressure on their portfolios.
Glassnode analysts emphasized a positive shift in the profitability of short-term market value (STH) compared to realized value (MVRV), with over 62% of STH supply now held in profit. This development, along with other onchain metrics, indicates that the average Bitcoin investor is currently in a more favorable and profitable position, making it an intriguing time for BTC.
