Bitcoin is currently holding steady above $60,000, demonstrating resilience despite a recent period of sluggish momentum.
As of July 22, Bitcoin remains approximately 8% below its all-time high of $74,000. Nonetheless, the majority of Bitcoin holders are still experiencing gains, with 93% of addresses showing profitability at current levels.

This strong performance comes after a significant sell-off in June and early July 2024, when Bitcoin prices fell to as low as $53,500 before beginning their recovery.
Despite the drop, Bitcoin’s rebound to above $68,000 has helped restore investor confidence, particularly among those who purchased the cryptocurrency within the last 155 days. These short-term holders are now beginning to see profits, reducing selling pressure.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners have been notably active, with companies like Mara Digital and Riot Blockchain adding over 4,500 BTC to their holdings in the past three weeks. This increase in mining activity has positively impacted their stock prices, which have risen by more than 30% recently.
