- The current Bitcoin profit margin stands at -18.4% while maintaining similar values from the lowest point of the 2022 market year.
- During the past half-year Bitcoin wallets which had been inactive for between 6–12 months started demonstrating new movements on the blockchain.
- The same wallet activity pattern emerged in 2023 which later led to a market peak that suggested potential market consolidation.
Amid recent market volatility, long-term holders of Bitcoin are beginning to show movement, potentially signaling a shift in market sentiment. On-chain data shows that Bitcoin wallets which are typically inactive for 6-12 months cycles have started spending their Bitcoin platform holdings. The market witnessed such a change as the total profit/loss indicators for traders align with 2022 low points.
Profit/Loss Margins Signal Market Stress
The profit/loss margin stands at -18.4% according to current data tracked in the Bitcoin on-chain trader realized price chart. Bitcoin held a local market low during November 2022 when its -18.9% figure matched the current -18.4% profit/loss margin.

Investor confidence appears to be becoming unbalanced because the average price at which all coins in circulation were last moved through the network deviates from the current market price of Bitcoin.
Price Trends and Wallet Activity
Bitcoin achieved two price spikes nearing $90,000 after which it experienced slight price correction at the beginning of 2025. During this period of increased activity from the 6–12 month wallet holders approached the market because these investors chose to capitalize on recent price peaks before selling.
This group previously engaged in major periodical selling during mid-2023 when the asset reached a local price summit. The present market activity shows signs which suggest the market may be in a comparable phase to previous ones.
Market Implications and Forward Outlook
The recent market decline does not prove a bearish turn yet serves as a warning sign. Deep negative profit/loss margins which combine with increased selling from mid-term holders create conditions that could result in short-term market consolidation or market decline.
The price area has shown historical buying behavior yet a possible short-term rally remains possible if market capitulation ends along with new buying interest emerging.
