BEARISH 📉 : Bitcoin’s $2.3 Billion Losses Highlight Major Market Capitulation

The recent decline in Bitcoin's price has led to significant losses for short-term holders, as reported by CryptoQuant. The seven-day average of realized net losses reached approximately $2.3 billion, marking one of the largest loss events in Bitcoin’s history.

Key Points

  • Bitcoin's price dropped sharply from a peak near $126,000 to about $60,000, with current levels around $66,600.
  • On-chain indicators suggest rising losses over gains, indicating deep capitulation where more holders are selling than buying.
  • Analysts predict continued market pressure, potentially lasting months before stabilization.
  • CryptoQuant's “realized price” measure sits near $55,000, historically linked to the end of major sell-offs and the start of consolidation.

Market Outlook

  • Short-term: Expect volatility with potential sharp rallies and further realized losses as investors exit positions.
  • Long-term: Stability may return if institutional demand increases or large holders cease selling.
