BlockBeats News, January 19 — Glassnode released data on social media indicating that the STH-NUPL indicator (measuring the ratio of unrealized gains and losses of new investors relative to the market value of short-term holders) has shown that since November 2025, new investors have been in a state of net unrealized loss. To bring this group back to a net profit state, the Bitcoin price needs to rebound to above approximately $98,000, which seems to be the minimum threshold.
BlockBeats Note: According to the historical patterns of bear markets and significant corrections, the ongoing decline during a bear market may cause these short-term holders (STH, new investors) to gradually give up their positions at unrealized losses (selling at realized losses). During the 2018 bear market, the STH-NUPL dropped to around -0.6, with many short-term traders cutting losses en masse, incurring huge losses, which ultimately cleared out a large amount of speculative bubbles and marked the market bottom before entering a new bull market. In the 2022 bear market (after the FTX collapse), STH realized record-breaking losses. After weak hands were cleared out, the price bottomed around $16,000, and then a bull market began.

BTC 15-minute decline of 0.56%: Whale inflows surge, triggering structural sell pressure
2026-03-30 17:15 to 17:30 (UTC), BTC recorded a -0.56% return within 15 minutes; the price range fluctuated between 66,650.0 and 67,192.9 USDT, with a peak-to-trough amplitude of 0.81%. Short-term downside attracted market attention, and volatility increased.
The main driver behind this deviation was a sharp surge in the transfer amount from a whale wallet to a mainstream exchange ahead of the key window. On-chain data shows that wallets holding over 1,000 BTC accumulated about $420,690 worth of BTC transferred in over the 10 minutes before the deviation, driving the market to react and intensify the volatility.
