CryptoQuant: It's normal for long-term BTC holders to sell for profit in a bull market, and it hasn't reached an extreme level yet

CryptoQuant analysts stated that after BTC broke through the $100,000 mark, long-term Bitcoin holders (LTH) began to profit. CryptoQuant data shows that the "Long-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio" (LTH-SOPR) has significantly increased. This ratio measures the profit level of long-term Bitcoin investors by comparing the selling price of Bitcoin with their initial payment.

Julio Moreno, Director of Research at CryptoQuant said: "As the price of Bitcoin rose above $100,000, Long Term Holders (LTH) have been taking profits as shown by LTH SOPR rising to 4. This indicates that tokens sold by long term holders have realized four times their original purchase price in profits. However, this is a normal phenomenon during a bitcoin bull market and profit-taking is still far from extreme levels."
