The 2021 cohort, which previously realized a price of almost $50,000, has successfully dollar-cost averaged its realized price to $34,706. This indicates a strategic shift from unrealizing or realizing losses to recording profits or unrealized profits. This trend has resulted in a massive transformation in market sentiment, with holders now more inclined towards profit-taking.

Despite Bitcoin’s significant leap to $38,000 on Nov. 9, only $1 billion of profit was realized. This may seem marginal compared to the bull market of 2021, but consistent profit-taking over the past few weeks suggests that investors’ appetite for higher gains remains strong.
