Bitcoin Paradox: Big Holders Selling at Losses May Signal Market Bottom

A rare on-chain signal has appeared in the cryptocurrency market that may indicate the end of Bitcoin's prolonged decline. According to 'Crypto Dan' from analytics platform CryptoQuant, large investors have begun selling their Bitcoins at a loss, which historically signals the formation of a global trend reversal.

The SOPR Ratio, an indicator that measures the profitability of long-term holders relative to short-term holders, has fallen below 1.0. In previous market cycles, this drop below the signal line marked the final stage of clearing speculators from the market and the formation of a global macro bottom.

Experts emphasize that periods in which even mid- to long-term investors keep selling Bitcoin at a loss have historically proved to be excellent entry points. The current situation is unique because the capitulation of large investors is occurring just as market participants' interest hits rock bottom.
