Bitcoin Recovery Needs This To Happen, Glassnode Analyst Reveals

The lead research analyst at Glassnode has highlighted how the Bitcoin supply clustered at the top levels might have to shift down before a sustained recovery can take shape. Bitcoin Cost Basis Distribution Shows Massive Supply Above $80,000 In a new post on X, Glassnode lead research analyst CryptoVizArt has discussed how the Bitcoin supply is looking from the perspective of the Cost Basis Distribution (CBD). The CBD is an on-chain indicator that tells us about the amount of BTC that was purchased at each of the levels that the cryptocurrency has visited during its history. Below is the chart for the metric shared by CryptoVizArt. Related Reading: Dogecoin Tests Channel Floor Again: Breakdown Or Rebound? As is visible in the graph, there is a decent amount of Bitcoin supply that was purchased at recent price levels. This supply cluster has built up as the asset has consolidated in the region since February. While this cluster isn’t small, it’s still less dense than some other zones. From the chart, it’s apparent that there are regions above $80,000 that host the break-even level of an extreme amount of supply approaching the 495,000 BTC mark. These zones extend up to the top levels from the 2025 bull market. Earlier, the levels near $126,000 used to be even more dense, but as the digital asset sector has gone through this downturn, supply has changed hands at lower levels, weakening these clusters. However, the zones continue to be dominant relative to the clusters below $80,000. “The Cost Basis Distribution heatmap shows a dense supply cluster in the $80k–$126k range, representing coins still held by buyers near cycle highs,” noted the analyst. Naturally, all of these holders are in a notable amount of unrealized loss right now. Generally, underwater investors act as an impediment to price surges as they sell near their break-even. This effect could in part be what capped out the recovery rally in May. CryptoVizArt explained: For a sustained recovery to take shape, this supply needs to gradually migrate into new buyers’ hands at lower cost basis levels. As that wall softens, the overhang pressure eases and demand has room to build conviction. In the past, the process has often taken some time to occur for Bitcoin. “This transition can be achieved through deeper correction and/or bear market continuation,” said the Glassnode researcher.

BTC Price Bitcoin plummeted to $59,000 last week, but the asset opened on Monday with some recovery as its price is now floating around $63,200.

Newbie Bitcoin Whales Took $1.77 Billion In Loss During Price Crash: Data

On-chain data shows the new Bitcoin whales realized a massive amount of loss during the past week as BTC has gone through its drawdown. New Bitcoin Whales Have Harvested Massive Losses Recently As pointed out by CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn in a new post on X, New Whales on the Bitcoin blockchain have been participating in loss-taking recently. “Whales” are broadly defined as investors holding more than 1,000 BTC in their wallets, excluding entities such as miners and exchanges. Whales can be divided into two cohorts on the basis of holding time: New Whales and Old Whales . The former, also known as Short-Term Holder (STH) Whales, include all whale-sized addresses that purchased their coins within the past 155 days. Similarly, the Old or Long-Term Holder (LTH) Whales are made up of the large investors who have held past the five-month cutoff. Statistically, the longer an investor holds onto their coins, the less likely they are to sell them in the future. As such, the New Whales with their relatively short holding time are considered to represent the weak-minded side of the market, while the Old Whales represent the resolute side. The behavior of these investors has been in line with their reputation during the recent price plunge, as the chart for the Bitcoin realized profit/loss shared by Maartunn shows. From the graph, it’s apparent that the whales as a whole have realized a significant amount of losses in response to the bearish price action. The distribution of the realized loss, however, has heavily skewed toward the New Whales (shaded in blue in the chart). In total, the STH Whales took $1.77 billion in losses during the past week. This is a notable amount and suggests that the big-money investors who entered the market recently have panic-capitulated in the crash. Meanwhile, the LTH Whales have kept their loss-taking contained, at least for now. It only remains to be seen how the Bitcoin price will develop in the near future and how these whales will react to it. The price drawdown so far took the cryptocurrency to a low of $59,000, which isn’t at too much of a distance from the Realized Price , a metric tracking the cost basis of the average investor on the network. As the analyst pointed out in another X post , BTC’s Realized Price is currently located at $53,630. Bitcoin hasn’t gone below the Realized Price in this cycle even once, but it’s possible that if the current bearish trajectory continues, a retest could occur. “Every dip below that level has historically been a no-brainer DCA zone for long-term investors,” noted Maartunn. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $63,300, down more than 13% over the past week.
