Analyst: Bitcoin Short-Term Holders' Unrealized Profits Near 15%, Some Investors May Choose to Take Profits

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that during Bitcoin's recent rise to $80,000, the average unrealized profit margin for short-term holders (STH) approached 15%. The current estimated cost basis is approximately $70,100, with profit levels reaching their highest since July 2025. This range is often accompanied by significant profit growth, while also making short-term holders' positions more unstable, prompting some investors to potentially take profits. Therefore, Bitcoin's temporary stagnation near $80,000 is not unexpected.
