Glassnode
Bitcoin sellers have been realizing losses below $80,000, and last week recorded the longest run of daily net realized losses since mid-August. Similar loss clusters in August and September formed at local lows.
Why it matters
Realized losses show that sellers are closing positions below their purchase prices. In the two earlier clusters cited, that selling coincided with local lows, making the pattern a potential sign of capitulation rather than proof that a bottom is in.
Market impact
A hold above $75,000 would fit the previous pattern, according to the seed's analysis. Whether Bitcoin maintains that level is the key condition to watch; the loss data alone does not confirm a market bottom.
