Trader Notes: IntoTheBlock tweeted that Bitcoin holders who purchased between $47,000-$64,000 are feeling the squeeze, with only 27.6% of them currently in profit. The data pointed out that these investors are short-term holders, and this could increase selling pressure if the market experiences further declines.

CryptoCon noted that for six months the market is waiting for new Bitcoin highs but there is just sideways and decline movement. However, in 2019 the wait was almost three times longer. He concluded that this “short-term mess will be over soon.”
