The sudden price decline from $98,338 to $92,957 triggered over $303.5 million in liquidations of long positions within the hour, pushing total liquidations over the 24 hours to $404 million. However, analysts said signs of “market stabilization are emerging” and “realized Profit RP, which tracks the USD gains from moved coins, peaked at $10.5 billion daily during Bitcoin's surge towards $100,000. However, it has since fallen to around $2.5 billion per day, reflecting a 76 percent drop.”

They explained this suggests that profit-taking has “significantly cooled” and that further sell-offs may be “less dramatic in nature.” Analysts also said that Bitcoin’s funding rates are “stabilizing” too, explaining that the market is transitioning to a “more balanced phase, where volatility is likely to be more contained and price movements less erratic in the medium term.”

The Long Term Holder realized price — the average price paid by long-term Bitcoin holders — is $24,481, representing about a 400% average gain for long-term holders.
