According to an analysis by AMBCrypto, on the 21st of July, BTC’s price climbed to over $68,000, marking an increase of more than 1%.

Despite this positive momentum, some gains were subsequently lost, yet it has maintained its value above the $60,000 threshold. As of this writing, it was trading at around $66,500, with a slight decline of over 1%.
How the rise affected holders
The analysis of the Global In/Out of Money Index on IntoTheBlock provided a compelling overview of the current state of Bitcoin.
Most holders are in a profitable position at the press time BTC price. Specifically, nearly 49 million addresses, representing over 92% of all holders, were profitable.
This showed the overall market health and the gains most participants have experienced during past price increases.
Conversely, about 2.2 million addresses, accounting for approximately 4.14% of holders, faced losses, indicating that these holders may have purchased their assets at higher price levels.
Additionally, around 2 million addresses were at a break-even point, neither in profit nor loss, making up about 3.78% of all holders.
These statistics underscored a predominantly bullish sentiment in the Bitcoin market. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), around 60, further reinforced this sentiment.
An RSI value above 50 typically signaled bullish momentum, suggesting that the market might continue to see positive trends.

The seven-day MVRV was around 0.6%, indicating a marginal profit for recent buyers. However, this value was declining and signaled that the short-term gains for these recent purchasers were diminishing.

In contrast, the 30-day MVRV painted a more favorable picture for longer-term holders, standing at over 8%. Thus, those who purchased Bitcoin a month ago have accrued significantly higher profits than more recent buyers.
