This positive advancement was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptoquant_com\/status\/1947369485309972698\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reported<\/a> by Gaah, a market expert and author, in a recent Quick-take research on the CryptoQuant platform.<\/p>\n<p>According to the expert, the rise in long-term holders SOPR, a metric that measures the realized profit or loss of spent coins, is an indication of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/bitcoin-profit-taking-spikes-without-price-drop-strong-demand-or-delayed-reaction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">growing profit-taking behavior<\/a> on the part of these key investors. It could also fuel a newfound sense of confidence among long-time investors who have amassed Bitcoin over the course of past market cycles.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-536840 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bitcoin-chart-from-CryptoQuant-3.jpeg?resize=640%2C362\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"640\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bitcoin-chart-from-CryptoQuant-3.jpeg?w=1156 1156w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bitcoin-chart-from-CryptoQuant-3.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bitcoin-chart-from-CryptoQuant-3.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bitcoin-chart-from-CryptoQuant-3.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bitcoin-chart-from-CryptoQuant-3.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Bitcoin-chart-from-CryptoQuant-3.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>Despite the notable increase in the key metric, the expert noted that it is still below the red zone that has historically marked the peaks of <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoins-6-7-week-theory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">BTC\u2019s bull cycle<\/a>. This suggests the flagship asset could still extend its price rally to another new all-time high before the bear market possibly kicks off.<\/p>\n<p>After examining the metric, it is observed that long-term holders have started to sell for an increasing amount of profit. However, Gaah stated that the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-holders-capitulate-nearly-50k-btc-sold-at-a-loss-in-24-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">selling pressure<\/a> is not yet at excessive levels, which often occurs in periods of euphoria and mass distribution. In other words, the metric has not yet reached the apex of the bullish cycle, based on this signal, even though BTC\u2019s price has surged recently.<\/p>\n<h2>The market Still Heated Despite A Notable Increase<\/h2>\n<p>Data shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-sopr-indicator-decline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">the BTC SOPR<\/a> for long-term holders is slightly above the 2.5 level, and below the key 4.0 level. Historically, there have been indications of a macro top when the SOPR LTH hits the area above 4.0, which is indicated in red on the chart. The SOPR\u2019s current position supports the idea that more appreciation is feasible before the rising cycle may run its course.<\/p>\n<p>Related Reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-sopr-signals-more-gains-ahead-despite-new-ath-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin SOPR Signals More Gains Ahead Despite New ATH \u2013 Analyst<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While the market is still far from a final top, Gaah stated that this behavior suggests that it remains heated.
