The Bitcoin community is certainly no stranger to sudden price drops that are very rapid, deep, and volatile.

However, the plunge that brought the alpha cryptocurrency down by some $800 in as little as five minutes yesterday came as a rude shock to many traders who were virtually left stranded on the wrong side of the market.

New data from cryptocurrency market analysis firm Glassnode reveals that nearly 80% of the net Bitcoin supply as of today is currently in profit. Simply put, the data reflects the percentage of ‘coins’ that were lower than the current market price the last time they were moved.

What’s interesting about this trend is that such a high percentage of “in-profit” BTC volume usually acts as a precursor to another bullish advance.
