Bitcoin’s STH Net Unrealized Profit/Loss is currently at -$36B.
STH Net Unrealized Profit/Loss measures the net paper profit or loss held by Short-Term Holders.
Formula: STH Unrealized Profit minus STH Unrealized Loss.
Positive values indicate that recent buyers are still holding net gains. Negative values indicate widespread underwater positions and a more fragile market structure.
Interestingly, this metric was close to -$120B in February, when capitulation reached its peak in terms of unrealized losses.
Even though Bitcoin is now trading at lower prices than in February, Short-Term Holders are not carrying the same level of unrealized losses.
This is because the Short-Term Holder Realized Price is not as far from the current price as it was back in February.
This suggests that accumulation by Short-Term Holders may already be taking place.

Altcoin $ICNT , Impossible Cloud Network Token, is up 28% today, and here are its Liquidation Levels from 7 days to 90 days.
Before the move up, it had basically liquidated all the bulls.
And even though, in the short term, there are still many liquidation levels below, which increases the risk of entering right now, the big lesson here is clear:
In the crypto market, liquidity and trader liquidations are what move prices.
That is why so many traders struggle to understand why a crypto asset rises or falls without any strong short term narrative behind it.
Solana’s 30-day Open Interest change is about to turn positive.
The last two times this happened, $SOL moved slightly higher, but a sharp drop followed afterward.
A real liquidity hunt often happens across exchanges.
Also, when the monthly Open Interest change jumped by more than $2B compared to the previous month, the price marked local tops. In some cases, it did not even need to surpass that level.
Once this metric stays positive for a few days, some strategic selling to buy back lower later may be a good strategy.
If you are not worried about the short term, take a look at this. Ethereum is currently in one of its best phases for accumulation. The Net Unrealized Profit/Loss, NUPL, is in the red zone. This means unrealized losses are now significantly higher than unrealized profits across Ethereum’s history. Historically, this has marked excellent moments to DCA. So my answer on ETH is simple: Keep buying every week, or on any strong pullback that happens, because once $ETH leaves this red zone, it may not return to it anytime soon. Alphractal.com
Bittensor (TAO) was one of the most mentioned altcoins this week, with a strong weekly price recovery and growing market attention due to its position as a leading AI token.
However, until June 14, whales were heavily positioned in longs compared to retail.
Now, whales are predominantly positioned in shorts, while retail traders continue to persist in longs.
Stay alert, because the optimism around AI could trigger unexpected liquidations for many unaware traders.
In this one, I go through several important topics:
Bitcoin Fractal Cycle Institutional Analysis Accumulation and Distribution Theories Buy/Sell Pressure Delta Identifying Liquidation Levels Final market view on ETH
The goal is simple: understand where Bitcoin is inside the cycle, where liquidity is concentrated, and what the data is really showing before the narrative becomes obvious.
