The largest digital asset by market cap experienced a historic price surge since last Wednesday as it skyrocketed by over $15,000 within less than a week.<\/p>\n

On its way up, it broke all barriers and previous all-time high and set a new record at just over $123,000. It briefly became the fifth-biggest global asset by surpassing silver, Alphabet (Google), and Amazon, before it settled<\/a> at sixth position following a somewhat expected price correction.<\/p>\n

Why Was That Correction?<\/h2>\n

Nothing really goes up in a straight line. All price pumps are accompanied by corrections, and this is particularly true for the ever-volatile cryptocurrency market. During the aforementioned rally<\/a>, BTC was in a \u201cup only\u201d mode for days, and this correction seemed overdue, according to some experts.<\/p>\n

When an asset jumps by roughly 10% in such a relatively short period, certain investors might want to secure some profits, especially when they have been waiting for it to break out of consolidation for months.<\/p>\n

Data from some of the largest cryptocurrency analytics platforms confirms this narrative. CryptoQuant repoted<\/a> that large investors had realized profits of more than $1.5 billion within a day or so.\u00a0Glassnode went even further, indicating that all investors have booked<\/a> profits of somewhere up to $3.5 billion. Data from Arkham shows<\/a> that even the government of Bhutan started to sell off some of its BTC holdings.<\/p>\n

Glassnode also said the ratio between Long-Term Holders (LTH) and Short-Term Holders (STH) has signaled a trend reversal, which suggests early signs of profit taking.<\/p>\n

Sharp drop in the $BTC<\/a> LTH\/STH Supply Ratio and a flip in 30D % change from accumulation to distribution suggest early signs of profit-taking. After months of steady LTH inflows and rising price, this could mark a turning point. Key metric to watch for trend reversal. pic.twitter.com\/eLj8DL3X1C<\/a><\/p>\n
