At these levels, analysts found that long-term holders appear to be shouldering much of the market’s unrealized losses.

They also observed that the growing dominance of long-term holders and diminishing share of short-term holders are consistent with the trend seen in the late stages of a bear market.

“In the last two extended bear markets, the 14 DMA of this metric broke above the 90% threshold line. This means under the psychological pressure of bearish price action, short-term holders were holding < 10% of the profit in the market,” stated the analysts.

“With the recent leg down to sub $30K range, this metric crossed over the 90% threshold.

Essentially, the data shows that almost all buyers since January 2021 are holding unrealized losses.
