Bitcoin short-term holders cruise into profit
New data from Glassnode revealed that the recent surge in Bitcoin’s price has brought about a wave of triumph for short-term holders. The leap from approximately $25,000 to beyond $30,000 has pushed many of these holders into a profitable position.
To be precise, over 66.4% of short-term holder coins, amounting to a staggering 1.8 million, have now found themselves in profit. This surge has elevated the profitable short-term holder supply percentage to 96.9%, equivalent to roughly 2.6 million BTC.
Furthermore, historical patterns indicated that such periods of profitability often led to price increases. This means that we could see the price of BTC rise more if more STH is pushed into profit.
