Bitcoin's On-Chain Stress Indicator Retreats Below 40%

Bitcoin's on-chain stress indicator has retreated from its recent peak of 42.2% to 35.2%, moving below the historically significant 40% deep-stress zone, according to CryptoQuant data.

This decline indicates that some of the selling pressure experienced during recent price weakness has eased, but analysts note that unrealized losses remain elevated compared with healthier phases of previous market cycles.

Historical cycles show that periods of stress often extend beyond a single threshold, with the first move above 40% often followed by extended consolidation before recovery or capitulation.

Bitcoin's Percent Unrealized Loss currently stands at 35.2%, meaning roughly one-third of the tracked Bitcoin supply is being held below its acquisition price.
