As Bitcoin oscillates near critical support levels, industry analysts voice concerns about the potential for a significant market correction. Prominent crypto analyst Ali, utilizing the platform X, has highlighted a worrying trend where approximately 5.45 million addresses hold 3.03 million BTC, priced between $64,300 and $70,800.
The concentration of Bitcoin holdings creates a substantial supply barrier, which could potentially lead to an aggressive sell-off if any of the larger holders decide that they want to close their positions and take some profits.
Market Indicators Suggest Caution

Analysts from CryptoQuant have brought attention to the “Adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio” (asopr) which, when paired with a 200-day moving average, helps to gauge the profit realization behavior of Bitcoin investors.

This indicator typically surges above the 1.00 mark during bullish market phases, suggesting that many investors are in profit and may continue to hold their positions expecting further gains.
Conversely, a rise to or beyond 1.08 often presages a market downturn, as historical patterns indicate. Current asopr levels nearing 1.08 could suggest that Bitcoin is teetering on the edge of a similar retracement, necessitating vigilance among traders and investors.
