Bitcoin’s price gain in the last week has resulted in multiple other positive developments, ranging from a surge in ETF inflows to a bullish change in option trading calls, all signifying a renewed market confidence. In particular, over 99% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply is now held at an unrealized profit, a milestone that underscores the market’s strength. However, historical trends suggest that such conditions often precede a major price correction.
Notably. With Bitcoin currently trading around $122,000, this milestone reflects the present overwhelming profitability of holders across the network. However, this is also a rare event that has historically preceded short-term market corrections.
According to Pillows, the last three times Bitcoin’s “supply in profit” ratio climbed above 99%, the market experienced brief corrections ranging from 3% to 10%. These drawdowns may be seen as “cooling phases,” allowing overheated momentum to reset before prices resumed their upward trend.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $122,246 after a price gain of 11.73% in the past seven days. Despite the strong cautionary predictions, historical data prove October to be a generally bullish trading month with an average gain of 21.89% and a median gain of 21.20%.
Looking at the short-term, these analysts expect Bitcoin to rise to $130,994 in the next five days but project an eventual retracement to around $126,535. However, they predict the premier cryptocurrency to reach a $140,009 target by the end of 2025. With a market cap of $2.43 trillion, Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency with a market dominance of 58.4%.
