“A similar situation with significant profit volumes previously signaled substantial market corrections,” Adler observed.
Checkmate, another expert, pointed out that over the past few months, short-term investors have been actively purchasing Bitcoin during local dips, which could also indicate potential market shifts.
Historically, when unrealized profit levels reached similar highs, it often led to sell-offs. For instance, in September 2021, Bitcoin lost 8.7% of its value, dropping from $65,800 to $60,000.
Over 94% of the #Bitcoin supply is now back in profit.

Resistance Level Near $69,000
On October 21, Bitcoin hit $69,000 before correcting to $67,000. Japanese trader Jusko Trader described this correction as a “natural pause” that could precede the next growth phase.
Analysts from Greeks.live highlighted a significant increase in funding rates on Bitfinex, where the figure reached 30% annually. They view this as a bullish signal, indicating that large players are actively building positions.
