The recent surge in Bitcoin’s price saw it shoot up by over 12%, reaching $35,000. This surge also means that MicroStrategy, a prominent company that holds approximately $44 billion worth of Bitcoin, is now in a profitable position.
Market analysts are suggesting that this significant price increase could be the start of the next Bitcoin bull run, setting the stage for the cryptocurrency’s potential growth leading up to the next halving event in mid-2024.
80% of Bitcoin Holders in Profit, Yet Profit Booking Risks Loom
Recent on-chain data indicates that nearly 80% of Bitcoin holders are currently in a profitable position. This percentage, not seen since the peak of the 2021 bull market, raises concerns about potential profit booking in the near future.
Moreover, data from IntoTheBlock suggests that there are no significant on-chain resistance levels as Bitcoin approaches $40,000, with the $30,000 level likely to provide strong support in case of a pullback.
Another noteworthy trend is the 27% increase in the amount of Bitcoin held by short-term traders over the last 30 days, a common occurrence during bullish phases. Both short-term traders and newcomers are actively acquiring Bitcoin as its value continues to climb.

Bitcoin Critic Warns of FOMO Rally and Potential Price Corrections
A well-known Bitcoin critic, Whalewire, has described the recent rally in Bitcoin as a “Fear of Missing Out” (FOMO) driven by retail investors. The analyst pointed out that in previous bear market cycles, Bitcoin has experienced significant surges of over 200% before eventually declining to new lows.
Whalewire suggests that the current rally may be another deceptive upswing, likely fueled by the excitement around ETFs, with the intention of attracting more participants before the next major downturn. The analyst also highlights the significant increase in newly created Tether tokens over the past week.
Whalewire’s advice to its followers is to consider taking profits or adopting a cautious approach by waiting on the sidelines for the time being.
