In that sense, 71.1% of the Bitcoin long term holders are in profit as BTC moved back into the $50,000, with a 9.4% at a loss and a 19.5% of the circulating supply in control of short-term holders. The latter are comprised of those investors who took a position in BTC in the past 3 months.
As seen below, Bitcoin has managed to climb to an all-time high in every previous bull market when the number of long-term holders reached or surpassed 54%.

Further data provided by Glassnode indicates a rise in the number of BTC purchase by long-term holders since March 2021. During this period, long-term holders added over 2.35 million BTC to their addresses.
In contrast, only 180,000 Bitcoin (BTC) were issued by miners. Therefore, long-term holders added 13x more BTC than those produced by this sector.

However, CryptoQuant also notes almost no variation in the stablecoin supply ratio. On a decline since May 2021, this metric is used to measure the demand on the crypto market.
Source: CryptoQuantAs the chart shows, BTC’s price took important hits when the stablecoin supply ratio dropped in March until the end of July when an uptick coincided with Bitcoin moving away from its previous range in the $30,000.
If the bulls are to have a serious chance at retaking its previous all-time highs, the stablecoin supply ratio needs to get back at the yearly open levels.
