On-chain data shows about 70% of the total Bitcoin supply is currently in profit, a level that has historically been important for bulls.
Around 30% Of Total Bitcoin Supply Is Now Underwater
As per the latest weekly report from Glassnode, the percentage of BTC supply in profit has now fallen off to just 70%.
The “percent of supply in profit” is an indicator that measures the percentage of the total Bitcoin supply that’s currently in the green.
When the value of this metric increases, it means more coins have started to get into profit. This leads to holders becoming more probable to sell their coins in order to harvest their gains.
At very high values of the indicator (more than 95%), the price of Bitcoin has usually approached a top as profits are realized.
On the other hand, when the metric moves down, it means more coins are entering into the red. Below certain low levels, investors may capitulate to cut their losses. However, when more than 50% of the supply is underwater, bottoms have historically formed.

As you can see in the above graph, the metric has been falling down since a few months now. And so at the moment, only around 70% of the Bitcoin supply is in profit.

The 70% level seems to have been significant historically as bulls had to defend it twice in the past two years. The first instance was shortly after the COVID crash, between May 2020 to July 2020.
The other instance was 2021’s mini-bear period between May and July. The bulls came out on top during both the periods after a while of sideways movement.
The report notes that the medium-term outlook of the price likely depends on how the market responds to the level this time. If more of the supply enters underwater, those in the red may finally capitulate.
On the other hand, a bullish reversal can bring more Bitcoin into profit and prevent these holders from selling here.
