According to an on-chain data report released by CryptoQuant analyst nino, the Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Profit Ratio (LTH-SOPR) has recently fallen below the key threshold of 1.LTH-SOPR specifically tracks the actual profit and loss status of long-term investors who have held their coins for more than 155 days. A value above 1 indicates that the overall selling is profitable, while a value below 1 means that long-term holders are selling at a loss. The current indicator falling below 1 suggests that an increasing number of seasoned holders are starting to feel pressured to sell at a loss, and the market may be approaching a "surrender" phase—where even the most patient long-term holders begin to react to price pressure, which is often seen as an important signal in the process of seeking the market bottom.

The cumulative Bitcoin balance of the ETF is still negative (approximately -4,000 BTC), but it has improved significantly compared to the lowest point (-42,000 BTC). In the past month, the ETF has seen a net inflow of about 38,000 BTC, equivalent to approximately $2.6 billion.Analysts point out that the rebound in ETF demand is an important driving factor for the recent positive trend in the Bitcoin market. However, the Bitcoin price is still fluctuating within the current range, and whether it can maintain positive momentum in the future depends on the sustainability of this trend.

According to CoinDesk, amidst the rising uncertainty in the U.S.-Iran situation and weakening expectations for macro liquidity, Bitcoin remains fluctuating above $70,000, demonstrating strong market resilience.Despite facing multiple bearish factors, including the complete pricing in of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations for the year, tightening regulation on stablecoins (Circle's stock price drop), and news that Bhutan may sell about $30 million in BTC, Bitcoin's pullback has been limited and the decline short-lived.Analysts believe that when prices do not decline despite the release of numerous negative factors, it usually indicates strong potential buying interest. Coupled with the factors of this cycle's options expiration, the market may have the momentum to rebound to $75,000.

Regulators believe this may be related to arbitrage activities during market volatility.Meanwhile, despite a 3% increase in the number of users on local exchanges to 11.1 million accounts and a 31% rise in deposits to 8.1 trillion KRW (approximately $5.4 billion), the combined operating profit of 18 exchanges in the second half of 2025 was only 380.7 billion KRW (approximately $253 million), a significant decline of 38% compared to the first half.The total market capitalization of the South Korean crypto market at the end of 2025 is estimated to be around 87.2 trillion KRW (approximately $58 billion), an 8% decrease from the first half of the year. The average daily trading volume also fell by 15% to 5.4 trillion KRW (approximately $3.6 billion), with regulators pointing out that the decline in the prices of major cryptocurrencies at the end of the year was the main reason for the drop in trading volume and profitability.

BIT (formerly Matrixport) released a chart today stating that the spot price of Bitcoin has not yet fully reflected this change, but the options market has responded, with implied volatility significantly rising and demand for downside protection continuing to heat up. In the past week, the proportion of bearish buying in Bitcoin options trading reached 29%, while Ethereum was even higher at 37%, indicating a clear shift towards defensive positions.Behind this round of position adjustment is a deep concern among traders regarding geopolitical tensions: inflationary pressures may persist longer as a result, affecting not only oil prices but also spreading to a broader range of growth-sensitive assets. Therefore, continuously tracking changes in market positions remains crucial, especially in the options market.Compared to spot trading, options often reflect changes in the risk appetite of fast-money accounts and tactical funds earlier. Although overall trading volume remains relatively low, market participants have not relaxed their vigilance but are actively managing tail risks. However, it is worth noting that Bitcoin's performance is still outpacing other risk assets.

Regarding the rumors that the Resolv Labs stablecoin security incident has a significant impact on Morpho, Morpho co-founder Paul Frambot clarified in a post on X that this incident has indeed affected USR and related assets (such as RPL), and has impacted the lending market that uses them as collateral. However, among the approximately 500 Morpho Vaults with deposits exceeding $10,000, only about 15 vaults have significant exposure to the related market (over $10,000). The affected vaults are primarily positioned as high-risk strategies, using long-tail collateral assets, while other vaults that do not have related exposure (including low-risk Prime Vaults) have not been affected.Paul Frambot advised users to continue to pay attention to communications and updates from Resolv Labs and related Curators to get the latest developments on specific vault risk exposures.

Cryptoquant analyst Darkfost pointed out that data shows the spot trading volume of altcoins on major exchanges has significantly declined compared to more active periods. Currently, Binance's altcoin trading volume is about $7.7 billion, while other major exchanges combined account for about $18.8 billion, far below the levels of $40 to $50 billion for Binance and $63 to $91 billion for other exchanges during the peaks in October 2025 and February. In relative terms, Binance currently accounts for about 40% of the total global altcoin trading volume.Analysis indicates that the aforementioned peak trading volumes coincide with the formation of a phase top in the crypto market, during which FOMO sentiment drove retail investors to flood in, while early investors took profits by leveraging the peak in demand. In the current environment, ongoing geopolitical tensions have suppressed market risk appetite, and altcoins continue to lag behind Bitcoin in performance. The analysis also suggests that historical patterns show that periods of low market interest, when most investors are on the sidelines, often represent the most attractive window for positioning.
