Most altcoin holders are still sitting on losses.
The median coin has less than a quarter of its supply in profit.
Global market tops tend to occur once a majority of supply across the entire market is deep in profit.
That point is still a long way off.
$BTC has reclaimed every one of its long-term moving averages.
After around 300 days underneath them, this dynamic has now flipped.
Holding above them is what maintains a long-term uptrend.
$BTC remains in a bullish regime, according to various cost basis models and time frames.
Price is trading above both the True Market Mean and the short-term holder cost basis.
Holding above these levels is what historically defines a sustained uptrend.
Bitcoin touches $86k, up more than 10% from last Sunday's close.
Spot and perpetual buyers lead while leverage and profit-taking slowly rise with price.
ETF flows are the one reading still pointing the other way.

The current bid is strong enough that $BTC can be spent in profit without price immediately rolling over.
A sustained entity-adjusted SOPR above 1 is characteristic of a bull market.
A break back below 1 would signal that this demand is fading.
Altcoin leverage is still sitting below its risk threshold.
When the share of altcoin open interest comes within a few percent of Bitcoin's, the market is usually overheated.
That condition is not currently met, indicating a potential for alts to run further.
ICYMI: Listed companies added just 5.9K $BTC over three months, versus 89K in July 2025 alone.
With spot just below their $80.5K average cost basis, corporate buyers face modest unrealized losses while providing little fresh demand.
This week's analysis
$BTC has slipped below the bottom of the range.
That floor aligned with the True Market Mean and price needs to reclaim it for conditions to remain bullish.
If it does not, the short-term holder cost basis near $70k becomes increasingly likely.

The ETF bid is gone again.
It came back in late August, ran for just over three weeks, and has already flipped to net redemptions.
The ETFs bought during and after the rally, but are not currently buying the $BTC dip.
Bitcoin is sitting at $78k, down around 1% on the week, and holding its range.
Spot and perpetual selling and ETF outflows weigh, but capital inflows and elevated profitability show a market absorbing pressure, not breaking down.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have climbed back toward break-even after an $18B drawdown.
Institutional cost basis is now a resistance level that price has to move through for further upside

Two cities produce more than half of all Solana blocks.
Frankfurt 33%
Amsterdam 19%
310 of 675 validators sit in those two cities.
That is 46% of the network by validator count, 53% by stake.

Bitcoin ETFs took in $643M last Thursday.
That is the biggest single-day inflow since January.
It follows the strongest month ETFs have had all year.
#BTC is trading like a different asset than it was in March.
Back then its 90d correlation with the Nasdaq-100 was 0.57 and with gold 0.21.
Today the readings are swapped: 0.22 NDX and 0.57 gold. https://twitter.com/n3ocortex/status/2095871699103179145
The signal that marked the $126K $BTC top is Risk-On again.
After the Bitcoin Vector Signal flipped risk off in October 2025, BTC drew down 54%.
It flipped long again as BTC broke above 70k. Sign up below 👇

$BTC has flashed the momentum signal that started the last two bull markets.
MVRV has crossed back above its 365-day average.
This is the same cross that we saw in 2019 and 2023 at the beginning of each bull market.
The altcoin cycle signal has just flipped from bitcoin to altcoin season.
The first rally in August saw altcoins stay relatively flat while BTC moved.
However, today's rally has ignited the full breadth of the altcoin market.
As $BTC has touched $86k, long leverage is slowly rebuilding in the options market.
Open Interest put/call ratios are moving up.
However, this still remains far from the frothy levels we saw near the BTC top.
Perp speculation also remains muted with funding below neutral.
As expected, $BTC accelerated through the wall of short liquidations.
Shorts accumulated between $82k and $86k for months, however the rejection from this level was shallow.
Now these shorts are the fuel, as these traders are required to buy back BTC.
$BTC is climbing into a thickening liquidation shelf.
The dense cluster sits around $83k–$86k.
If reached, price could move quickly through this zone as shorts are forced to cover.
These shorts have been building for several weeks.
$BTC has reclaimed the True Market Mean.
That puts price back above a crucial level and back into a bullish regime.
Next major overhead is the corporate treasury cost basis around $80k and finally the ETF cost basis at $85k.

Bitcoin has slipped below its multi-week range just as the Fed decides on rates.
Support under price is thin, but the potential catalyst here is strong.
Our latest Week On-Chain report covers what to watch for.
Late August saw the broadest burst of altcoin gains this year.
At the same time, multiple holder cohorts used the bounce to take profit.
We monitor these metrics and more on our Market Compass.

$BTC is stuck beneath a wall of long-term holder supply around $83-$85k.
However, investors are acquiring coins here.
Should we break below this newly forming cluster, $75k is the level to watch.
After that a full retrace to $60k would be in play.

Bitcoin is still stuck beneath the edge of a thick resistance band.
Moving above this level, would indicate a shift in long term market structure.
A return lower would result in significant pain for late longs.

Bitcoin holds near $79.1k after a flat week.
Capital inflows, ETF demand and futures leverage all build, while cooling spot momentum and a deeply negative volatility spread keep the market finely balanced.

BTC volatility is currently historically low.
However, the strongest driver of low vol is not market cap.
It is who holds the coins.
Long-term holder supply explains more of realized vol than market cap, open interest, or turnover.
The median altcoin is 58% below its price at the BTC high.
The privacy sector is 213% above it, and not only because of $ZEC.
