On-chain analytics firm Glassnode has explained how a flip in Bitcoin short- 
term holder profitability could act as a precondition for a sustained price 
recovery. Bitcoin STH Supply In Profit Is Currently Under 50% In a new post on 
X, Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Supply in Profit metric 
for the Bitcoin short-term holders (STHs). The Supply in Profit measures, as 
its name suggests, the percentage of the BTC supply that&#8217;s currently being 
held at some net unrealized gain. Related Reading: Bitcoin Returns Mirror 
Late-2022 Levels Seen Before 67% Rally: Santiment In the context of the 
current topic, only the above-water supply held by the BTC STHs is of 
relevance. This cohort includes all addresses that purchased their tokens 
within the past 155 days. The STHs make up one of the two main divisions of 
the market, based on holding time, with the other side being known as the 
long-term holders (LTHs). Statistically, the longer an investor holds onto 
their coins, the less likely they are to sell them in the future. As such, the 
STHs with their relatively low holding time are considered to represent the 
weak-minded side of the market, while the LTHs include the diamond hands. As 
the chart below for the Supply in Profit of the STHs shows, the new entrants 
to the market were enjoying a high degree of profitability before Bitcoin 
experienced a bearish shift in Q4 2025: The price decline has caused the 
indicator&#8217;s value to plummet, meaning a chunk of the tokens held by the 
Bitcoin STHs have gone underwater. From the graph, it&#8217;s apparent that the 
indicator dropped below the 50% mark a while ago and has continued to be in 
this low profitability zone since. In the past, this cohort being under stress 
has generally meant a lack of demand in the market. &#8220;Demand-side risk appetite 
tends to remain suppressed until this flips back above 50%,&#8221; noted Glassnode. 
In the chart, a few examples of the STH Supply in Profit flipping back above 
50% are visible, with the latest one being the price rebound from the first 
half of 2025. Back then, a return of profits for the cohort led to a Bitcoin 
rally that set new price all-time highs (ATHs). Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull 
Score Surges To 30, Exits ‘Extra Bearish’ Zone Given this trend, it&#8217;s possible 
that a flip in the metric above the 50% level could once again be of 
significance for the cryptocurrency. &#8220;Watch this level as a precondition for 
any sustained recovery,&#8221; explained the analytics firm. BTC Price Bitcoin has 
been making a fresh attempt at the $72,000 level following its surge of 3% 
over the last 24 hours. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoiners often argue that BTC should thrive when the global financial system 
starts to look unstable. But Luke Gromen says that this time, BTC simply was 
not behaving the way he thought it should, and that was enough for him to 
slash a position he described as “irresponsibly large.” Gromen Says BTC’s 
Weakness Against Gold, […]
