Bitcoin May Be Near Cycle Bottom, K33 Research Warns
More than half of Bitcoin's supply is underwater, a signal that has historically preceded major bottoms and strong 12-month returns.
Here's the stat that should have your attention: more than half of all circulating Bitcoin is currently held at a loss. That's not a rumor — that's the on-chain reality K33 Research is pointing to right now, and history says it matters a lot.

What makes this signal compelling is what comes after the bottom. K33 notes that one-year returns following these capitulation moments have been strong across most previous cycles.

But when more than 50% of supply is in the red, it signals widespread capitulation — exactly the kind of sentiment washout that tends to mark generational entry points in risk assets.
