Odaily Planet Daily News reports that on-chain data analysis firm CryptoQuant states that Bitcoin holders have recently started realizing net losses, marking the first time since October 2023, indicating a significant shift in the on-chain profit structure.
CryptoQuant pointed out in its latest report that over the past 30 days, the market has shifted from a “profit-taking” phase to a “loss realization” phase. Data shows that since early 2024, Bitcoin’s realized profit momentum has continued to weaken, with profit peaks moving downward, occurring in January 2024, December 2024, July 2025, and October 2025, reflecting a gradual decline in upward price momentum.
The report states that since December 23, 2025, Bitcoin holders have realized cumulative losses equivalent to 69,000 BTC. CryptoQuant believes this trend is highly similar to the on-chain patterns during the bull-to-bear transition in 2021–2022, possibly indicating that the current bull market is nearing its end.
CryptoQuant’s Head of Research Julio Moreno said that realized profit and loss are calculated based on on-chain transfer data and market prices, comparing the price at each Bitcoin transfer with the previous transfer price to determine the corresponding profit or loss.

BTC short-term rises by 1.35%: Technical breakthroughs and short covering drive price surge
On March 4, 2026, from 15:15 to 15:30 (UTC), BTC's return within a 15-minute window reached +1.35%, with a price range of 71,969.5 to 72,995.0 USDT, and an amplitude of 1.42%. During this period, trading volume expanded simultaneously, market attention surged sharply, showing short-term volatility higher than previous and subsequent periods. Market sentiment gradually warmed, and the atmosphere of capital competition significantly intensified.
The main driving forces behind this anomaly are the breakthrough of key technical levels for BTC and the passive stop-loss of high-leverage shorts during this period, leading to accelerated long positions and a "short squeeze" effect.
