Bitcoin Dips Below $80K as ****** ysts Say Profit-Taking Is on the Rise
Bitcoin rallied to nearly $82,500 on Wednesday for the first time since January—but has slipped in the last 24 hours to recently trade below $80,000.
The broader move, which has seen the top crypto ****** et gain more than 17% in the last month, is still part of a “bear market rally,” according to ****** ysts at CryptoQuant. And as profit levels grow, Bitcoin may be on the precipice of more selling.
“Bitcoin holders realized 14.6K BTC in daily profits on May 4, the highest level since December 10, as the 37% rally from the April lows pushed holders back into profitable territory,” the firm wrote, noting that the surge has created the “first significant profit realization event since December 2025” as short-term holders have been locking in gains since mid-April.
“Historically in bear markets, spikes in realized profits at key resistance levels precede local price tops or sustained consolidation phases,” the firm continued.
According to CryptoQuant’s data, the 30-day net realized profit for Bitcoin traders has climbed back into positive territory, meaning that more holders have notched gains than losses during that time—a move it called a “structural inflection point” in market dynamics.

Could we be heading into a Bitcoin bear market? A new report says the signs are there.
Data released Friday from blockchain research firm CryptoQuant shows that holders of the largest cryptocurrency by market cap are now in the red for the first time since October 2023, with losses now at 69,000 Bitcoins — today worth $6.1 billion — since December.
“The current pattern closely mirrors the 2021–2022 bull-to-bear transition, when realized profits peaked in January 2021, formed lower highs through 2021, and then flipped into net losses ahead of the 2022 bear market,” CryptoQuant researchers wro

Bitcoin may have already slipped into a bear market roughly two months ago, according to CryptoQuant’s head of research, Julio Moreno, who points to a cluster of technical and on-chain indicators that turned bearish in early November and have yet to recover.
Key Takeaways:
Speaking on the Milk Road show on Thursday, Moreno said the majority of signals behind CryptoQuant’s bull score index have been flashing warning signs for weeks.
The index, which ranges from 0 to 100, tracks a mix of metrics including network activity, investor profitability, Bitcoin demand, and overall market liquidity.

Bitcoin started 2026 stuck near $88,000, extending weeks of sideways trading. While price action looks stagnant, on-chain data suggests the market may be quietly shifting beneath the surface.
Three indicators from CryptoQuant point to easing sell pressure, even as macro uncertainty continues to cap upside momentum.
Bitcoin’s price has struggled to reclaim key resistance after a sharp pullback in late 2025. The lack of follow-through buying has kept sentiment fragile, with traders waiting for confirmation that the correction has run its course.

Bitcoin’s three-year rally may be over, with signs pointing to the leading cryptocurrency entering a prolonged bear market.
That’s according to blockchain data firm CryptoQuant, whose researchers said in a Friday report that investors should be prepared for the end of Bitcoin’s four-year cycle.
Buyer exhaustion means the biggest digital coin could still drop as low as $56,000, the report noted. But it reassured investors that such a move was unlikely — if Bitcoin does drop that low, it would be the sharpest drawdown in a bear market on record.

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) fall from grace has sparked debate about whether the decline was driven by long-term holder (LTH) distribution or a wave of short-term panic selling.
What Happened: According to CryptoQuant, the decline was overwhelmingly driven by short-term holder (STH) capitulation, not long-term investor selling.
