Bitcoin on-chain metrics show BTC is resilient despite profit taking
Santiment, a crypto intelligence tracker, shows that Bitcoin supply on exchanges has declined by 27% in the past six months, between January 22 and June 22, 2024. Typically, reduced volume of the asset on exchanges is bullish as it reduces the selling pressure.
In the same timeframe, Bitcoin holders have consistently taken profits, as evidenced by the Network Realized Profit/Loss metric. This metric determines the net profit/loss of all tokens moved on a given day.
NPL shows several positive spikes, implying holders have realized gains on their Bitcoin holdings. Despite profit taking, Bitcoin supply is 27% lower than in January and the asset sustained above $63,000, a key support level.
