In a recent surge of Bitcoin's price, approximately 95% of Bitcoin holders find themselves in profit, lighting up market sentiment. This bullish trend, analyzed by IntoTheBlock using on-chain data, highlights a significant portion of investors riding high on gains.

The profitability assessment involved is scrutinizing the transaction history of each network address. Wallets with an acquisition cost lower than the present value are deemed 'in the money', while those with a higher cost basis are 'out of the money'. Those breaking even are categorized as 'at the money'. Currently, 95% of Bitcoin holders enjoy profits, 3% of addresses are breaking even, and merely 2% remain underwater, marking a notable preference in favor of profit-making holders—a direct reflection of Bitcoin's recent price rally.

"With 95% of Bitcoin addresses now in profit, market sentiment is booming," states IntoTheBlock. Historically, such high profitability has suggested strong bullish momentum but also hints at potential market overextensions. When a majority of investors are profiting, the likelihood of a mass selloff increases, driven by goals of profit-taking. Consequently, while a high profitability ratio indicates a robust market, it may also signal overheated conditions.

Moreover, a significant portion of investors are currently in the money. This raises the possibility of another round of profit-taking. Whether demand will sufficiently balance out the selling pressure to avoid a market top remains uncertain.

In a more optimistic turn, there has been a marked increase in Bitcoin inflows to 'accumulation addresses', as noted by Maartunn, a CryptoQuant community manager. These addresses are operated by perennial HODLers, who historically abstain from selling. They have recently acquired 56,700 BTC, potentially signaling the onset of a new accumulation phase.

As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at approximately $67,800, an increase of over 11% in the past week.
