The post Who’s Actually Making Money in Bitcoin Right Now? STH vs LTH Data<\/a> appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News<\/a><\/p>\n

$276 million was wiped from crypto traders in a single day this week as Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $69,000, squeezing leveraged traders on both sides. As of now, Bitcoin sits at $68,274 – down over 2% in 24 hours and 45% below its all-time high.<\/p>\n

If you’re watching your portfolio bleed, you’re probably asking one question: who on earth is making money right now?<\/p>\n

The answer might surprise you.<\/p>\n

Who’s Losing Money in the Bitcoin Crash Right Now<\/h2>\n

The most visible losers right now are leveraged traders on both sides. On April 6, as Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $69,000, 80,202 traders were liquidated across crypto derivatives markets in 24 hours – $276 million wiped out, with short sellers bearing the brunt as bearish bets got squeezed out.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the broader group quietly suffering: short-term holders – investors who bought Bitcoin less than six months ago. According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost<\/a>, their average cost basis sits at $85,400, well above Bitcoin’s current price. That means they’re sitting on average unrealized losses of roughly 19.4%.<\/p>\n

Some are holding. Many are panic selling.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin LTH Supply Up 300,000 BTC: Who Is Actually Buying<\/h2>\n

Here’s what the panic headlines aren’t covering.<\/p>\n

Long-term holder supply has increased by approximately 300,000 BTC. That means coins are actively moving from stressed, short-term hands into patient, long-term ones. The people who lived through previous cycles aren’t watching the Iran news and selling. They’re accumulating.<\/p>\n

Analyst Joao Wedson’<\/a>s 720-day Tactical Bull-Bear Sentiment Index tells the same story from a completely different angle. The indicator is currently sitting in extreme bearish territory – a zone that historically, in his words, is “not where trends start collapsing, but where they tend to end.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

He puts it well: “This could be the final ~5 months of fear and disinterest in Bitcoin. But also 5 months of accumulation by OGs.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Buy, Sell or Hold Your Bitcoin?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That’s not a question this article will answer for you, and anyone who answers it with certainty is lying.<\/p>\n

What the data does show is a familiar pattern. Darkfost notes that historically, when short-term holder losses exceed 25%, those levels have often coincided with early market bottoms. At 19.4%, we’re not there yet but the direction is clear.<\/p>\n

Every Bitcoin cycle has the same cast. Reactive traders lose to the volatility. Patient accumulators absorb the supply. The Iran war accelerated the one dynamic that was already playing out.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin is at $68,274. The fear is real. The question is which side of this trade you’re on.<\/p>\n
