On-chain data shows the Bitcoin network has seen a spike in profit 
transactions, something that has often led into local price tops in the past. 
Bitcoin Has Seen Its Highest Profit-To-Loss Transfer Ratio In 12 Weeks In a 
new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest 
trend in the ratio of profit and loss transactions taking place on the Bitcoin 
network. A transfer is categorized as a &#8216;profit&#8217; one when the tokens involved 
in it had a last transaction price lower than the latest one. Similarly, 
transfers with coins of the opposite type fall into the &#8216;loss&#8217; category.

$200M Below is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the ratio between the 
number of transactions falling in each group over the last few months. As is 
visible in the graph, the ratio has witnessed a rapid surge for the Bitcoin 
blockchain recently, indicating profit transactions have outpaced the loss 
ones. Currently, the metric has a value of 2.95, which means that traders are 
making nearly three profit-taking moves for every loss-taking transfer. This 
is the highest level for the indicator in about 12 weeks. In the chart, 
Santiment has highlighted past spikes in the metric. &#8220;Historically, this has 
been a short-term price top signal,&#8221; noted the analytics firm. Given this 
pattern, it now remains to be seen whether the latest surge in the ratio will 
also align with a local peak. In some other news, Bitcoin started the weekend 
with the most fearful social media sentiment in five weeks, as pointed out by 
Santiment in another X post. The indicator shown in the chart is the 
&#8220;Positive/Negative Sentiment,&#8221; tracking the ratio between bullish and bearish 
comments related to Bitcoin on the major social media platforms. This metric 
observed a drop to 0.81 on Saturday, corresponding to there being five 
negative posts for every four positive ones. The trend naturally suggests that 
all the market uncertainty like the Iran war and continued lackluster BTC 
price action induced FUD among retail traders on social media. Related

the market sentiment turned bearish, the analytics firm had noted in the post, 
&#8220;Remember that markets typically move the opposite direction of the crowd&#8217;s 
expectations.&#8221; Bitcoin has made some recovery to kickstart the new week, so 
it&#8217;s possible that this contrarian effect of the crowd mood may be what has 
once again affected the cryptocurrency&#8217;s trajectory. BTC Price Bitcoin has 
returned back to $69,200 following its recovery surge. Featured image from
