This upward trend follows a recent correction that pushed prices down earlier this month. Despite the recent gains, Bitcoin remains about 12.7% below its all-time high set in January. While investors monitor price resistance levels around the psychological $100,000 mark, on-chain metrics are beginning to show significant changes in market behavior that may influence short- and mid-term sentiment. A key development recently highlighted is the rising proportion of the Bitcoin supply that is currently in profit. As the market edges closer to historic euphoria thresholds, some analysts suggest that while this trend may support continued bullish movement, it could also introduce volatility as market participants assess when to lock in gains. The shift in profitability levels is also being evaluated alongside other indicators such as leverage and RSI behavior, which are offering mixed signals. Bitcoin Supply in Profit Nears Euphoria Levels CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost shared a recent outlook on Bitcoin’s on-chain dynamics, emphasizing the behavior of the “supply in profit” metric. According to the analyst, the supply in profit, meaning the percentage of Bitcoin in circulation currently valued higher than its purchase price, has climbed back above 85%. This metric fell to around 75% during the last correction but has now recovered in line with the recent price rebound.

While this level has yet to be reached in the current cycle, the upward trajectory suggests it may be approaching. Darkfost noted that such phases often trigger accelerated price rallies, but also tend to precede short- to mid-term pullbacks. The analyst emphasized how far sentiment has shifted from recent lows: It’s also worth noting that during past cycles, the lowest supply in profit levels were around 45–50%, which corresponded to deep bear market conditions. Notably, in this context, monitoring this metric may be important for anticipating potential trend reversals or periods of elevated volatility. Leverage Ratio and RSI Indicate Reduced Market Aggression In a separate post, another CryptoQuant analyst, Crypto Lion, addressed the behavior of the leverage ratio in combination with relative strength index (RSI) data. The analyst referenced a custom metric developed by CryptoQuant that multiplies RSI by an open interest-to-reserve ratio. This approach is designed to assess speculative positioning across the market. Crypto Lion observed that RSI swings are currently higher than they were during the 2021 summer period, though leverage dynamics suggest that the market is not currently as overheated. According to the post, the market appears to be slowly decoupling from aggressive leverage, potentially signaling a shift toward more organic spot-driven movement. The analyst concluded: I am concerned about what will happen after the next high, whether the original indicator was declining or not, which is not surprising.

A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others. Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis. Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics. When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…) Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life. In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps. Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think's probably unfeasible, I've done already a hundredfold.” PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp. Disclaimer: The information found on NewsBTC is for educational purposes only.
