【Blockchain Rhythm】Recently, an interesting data point has been uncovered. An on-chain analysis platform found that when Bitcoin dropped to around $80,000 in late November last year, a phased, even cyclical bottom may have already formed.
How can we tell? By looking at an indicator—the ratio of short-term holder (holding for no more than 155 days) profit supply to loss supply. On November 24th, this ratio dropped to 0.013. What does this mean? Historically, whenever this indicator drops to this level, it corresponds to an important market bottom. Just check the records: in 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2022, all of these points were touched.
How extreme was the situation back then? The loss supply of short-term holders soared to 2.45 million BTC, the highest level since the FTX collapse. Meanwhile, the profit supply was only 30,000 BTC, a complete imbalance.
Fast forward to early 2026, Bitcoin rebounded to around $94,000, an increase of over 7%. During this process, the loss supply gradually fell back to 1.9 million BTC, while the profit supply rose to 850,000 BTC. The ratio also increased to 0.45.
Even more interesting is that this indicator follows a pattern: when it approaches 1 and breaks through, Bitcoin often enters a sustained upward trend. And the true top? It only appears when this ratio approaches 100. The current figure is still far from 100, suggesting there may be plenty of room for further rise ahead.

The short-term dumpers are really trapped now, with 2.45 million BTC all at a huge loss. This data is intense.

November's wave was indeed incredible, with a loss of 2.45 million coins. How tragic is that?
I've heard this bottom signal theory several times, but the number of times it actually hits the mark... is indeed quite accurate.
Short-term players are all cutting losses, this is true panic.
What does the 0.013 ratio indicate? It means the retail investors have already been squeezed out.
This pattern of history repeating itself, from 2011 to 2022, has been accurate every time, but who dares to bet on it?

November's wave was truly the end; the loss of 2.45 million BTC caused supply to skyrocket. This is the real panic bottom.

Wow, 0.013 is really incredible. It has been tested at this bottom several times in history. Why do some people still not believe it?

Damn, a loss of 2.45 million coins? How many short-term players must have gone bankrupt directly? No wonder it's called a bottom signal; history just repeats itself like this.
