As& Bitcoin and Ethereum look to consolidate above key price levels, on-chain analytics platform Santiment has flagged market activity that suggests the crypto bottom is likely to be forming.&
The metric we are looking at is the ratio of profit/loss transactions for the two top cryptocurrencies by market cap.
BTC and ETH traders exited positions at a loss- likely positive for prices?
According to analysts at the firm, price declines over the past week came amid increased selling from traders who were exiting their positions at a loss. The market has historically bottomed when an increased number of crypto holders &- the crowd &- regularly sell their assets at a loss, Santiment noted.
“Bitcoin and Ethereum are both having more traders sell at a loss than at a profit this week, the first such week so far in 2023. Historically, once the crowd is exiting their positions more frequently at a loss, bottoms are more likely to form.”
