There is a notable divergence in Bitcoin\u2019s on-chain structure, where realized losses have surged to cycle extremes even as supply activity continues to contract. This points to a potential phase of selling exhaustion.<\/p>\n

According to the latest analysis shared by Axel Adler Jr., Bitcoin\u2019s Net Realized Profit\/Loss, which tracks the balance between realized gains and losses across all UTXOs, has fallen sharply into negative territory, and losses reached nearly $2 billion during January-February 2026. The metric was last observed at these levels during the 2022-2023 bear market.<\/p>\n

Supply Refuses to Move<\/h2>\n

Such a pattern comes after a long period from October 2023 through the end of 2024, when the metric remained consistently positive amid a rally from $30,000 to a peak of $125,000. The current dominance of realized losses, particularly with prices stabilizing in the $65,000-$75,000 range, points to capitulation pressure among weaker holders, which is historically associated with periods of market stress and compression in selling activity.<\/p>\n

However, Adler Jr. explained<\/a> that this alone does not confirm a trend reversal. At the same time, the Supply Active 30D Change metric, which measures changes in the proportion of recently moved coins, has declined below zero. This indicates a contraction in \u201cyoung\u201d UTXOs and reduced coin movement, and contrasts with prior bullish phases, where sharp upward spikes above 12% in this metric accompanied strong price advances.<\/p>\n

The present decline means coins are increasingly dormant and reflects a lack of broad-based distribution despite high realized losses. Adler Jr. went on to add that these factors demonstrate exhaustion in loss-driven selling rather than a confirmed recovery in demand.<\/p>\n

The divergence implies that while some market participants are capitulating, a larger share of holders remains inactive. Structurally, this aligns<\/a> with accumulation or absorption phases, though confirmation requires a steady recovery in the 7-day moving average of Net Realized PnL back into positive territory while supply activity remains subdued.<\/p>\n

Key Risks Ahead<\/h2>\n

More importantly, the primary risk lies in a scenario where supply activity accelerates before PnL recovers, which would indicate renewed distribution rather than organic recovery.<\/p>\n

Until such confirmation emerges, the current market regime remains neutral, and conditions suggest compression in selling pressure rather than the onset of a definitive bullish reversal.<\/p>\n
