Bitcoin’s Profit Supply Shrinks as Price Fails to Breach 2-Week Downtrend
Bitcoin shows capitulation signals as profit-taking collapses and selling accelerates. BTC remains below $108,000, but reclaiming $110,000 could spark recovery toward $112,500.
Bitcoin (BTC) is facing mounting pressure after extending its two-week-long decline. The cryptocurrency has struggled to break above resistance, suggesting growing investor fatigue.
Market conditions remain fragile as trading volumes decline and volatility spikes, leaving Bitcoin vulnerable to further losses if sentiment fails to recover soon.
Bitcoin Holders Are Losing Gains
The percentage of BTC supply in profit has dropped significantly, falling from 98% to 78% within two weeks. This steep decline reflects widespread unrealized losses and signals rising investor caution. Such rapid contractions are typically seen during capitulation phases, when fear dominates the market and selling intensifies.
The reduced incentive for profit-taking highlights that most holders are either in loss or barely breaking even. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle of hesitation, where buyers remain cautious while sellers seek to exit at the first sign of strength.

The Realized Profit to Loss (RPL) Ratio reinforces this capitulation narrative. The metric, which tracks Bitcoin’s realized gains versus realized losses, has slipped from 1.2 to 0.7, breaching the lower bound of 1.5. This means more investors are selling at a loss, indicating capitulation-like conditions across the market.
Such a low ratio reflects the growing dominance of loss realization, where participants exit positions in panic rather than strategic profit-taking. The broader macro environment—tight liquidity, risk-off sentiment, and declining inflows—adds further pressure.

BTC Price Under Pressure
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $107,734, holding below the $108,000 resistance. The crypto giant has repeatedly failed to break the two-week downtrend line, signaling weakening momentum and growing skepticism among investors.
The formation of lower lows this week is concerning. If Bitcoin cannot reclaim the $110,000 psychological level, the price could slip further toward $105,000 or even lower, amplifying selling pressure. Sustained bearishness could accelerate this move, pushing BTC into deeper correction territory.

However, if Bitcoin manages to regain $110,000 as support, the technical outlook could improve sharply. This would invalidate the downtrend and open the door to a move toward $112,500 and possibly higher. In that case, short-term recovery would be back on the table, but for now, caution remains the dominant theme across the Bitcoin market.

Wall Street pours cold water on the US Treasury: Even with a trillion-dollar Treasury account, buybacks may struggle to lower long-term Treasury yields
Deutsche Bank believes that if the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA) provides funding for U.S. Treasury repurchase operations, the overall impact on reserves and short-term debt supply may largely offset each other. Goldman Sachs argues that even if the Treasury expands repurchase operations, it is difficult to "reset" long-term interest rates, as repurchase operations do not address the main sources of recent long-term bond volatility—fiscal deficits and inflation. Institutions such as Wells Fargo are similarly pessimistic, believing that long-term yields still face "structural" pressure and expecting the U.S. Treasury yield curve to further steepen.
