#Bitcoin started the year strong, printing two higher highs and reaching $95.6k. The move pushed price into a key supply zone held by Long Term Holders. Price is now trading inside the April to July 2025 LTH distribution area.
Since November, rallies into the $93k to $110k range have faced steady sell pressure. This zone is a major barrier between correction and bullish continuation. Absorbing this overhead supply is crucial for a clear trend shift.
Market dynamics are shifting as the 90 day SMA of the Realized Profit/Loss Ratio falls sharply from nearly 19 in July 2025 to about 1.7 today. This move highlights weakening demand and rising frustration among investors, as realized losses begin to catch up with profits.
Similar readings in the past have aligned with low liquidity environments like those seen in 2018 and 2022. If history rhymes, the market may be entering another quiet consolidation phase before a clearer direction emerges.
