So here we are, Bitcoin sits at $57,450, a solid 22% below its all-time high of $73,835 from March 2024. You’d think that would make everyone bearish, right? But nah, the sentiment seems pretty bullish. I mean, according to Glassnode, most Bitcoin holders are still in profit. This current dip is nothing compared to past cycles if you ask me.

The Glassnode Perspective

Glassnode did some digging and found out that total unrealized profits are sitting six times higher than losses. They also pointed out that the average BTC holder is doing just fine with only minor losses compared to previous cycles. So yeah, if you’re holding Bitcoin and panicking right now… maybe you should reconsider your strategy.
