Profit taking stays light against past cycles. Weekly Net Realized Profit/Loss, the net dollar gain locked in when coins change hands, runs well below the average week at the 2024 and 2025 tops. Its pace in this rally, the right-hand band on the chart, is close to the start of the last uptrend in late 2023, the left-hand band.

The sellers have changed, though. Long-term holders, who have held their coins for more than 155 days, nearly doubled their realized profit in the week to September 29 against the week of the breakout, and their share of all realized profit rose from 34% to 55%. Should weekly profit taking climb toward the levels of past tops, it would show holders selling into strength.
