Bitcoin reclaims $71,000 as long-term holder supply turns positive again

Bitcoin LTH supply turns positive; 29% in loss, below prior bottoms

Long-term holder supply turned positive over 30 days as Bitcoin reclaimed $71,000. Only 29% of LTH coins sit in loss, below the 44–53% seen at 2015, 2018, and 2022 lows.

This is aging, not fresh buys. Six-month-old coins now count as LTH.

Key levels and context:

• The 30D MA bottomed near 674,000 BTC in late Nov 2025. It rebounded to just over 308,000 BTC. Chart.
• LTH supply in loss hit >50% in 2015, ~45% in 2018, and 44% in 2022 before cycle lows. It is 29% now. Data.
• Price pushed above $70,000 on Apr 6, then faded. Geopolitics weigh on risk assets. Live updates.

Rising LTH supply isn’t guaranteed demand. Holders may simply not sell. Note.
