Updated: Jan 03 2026- Capital Outflow Signal: According to Glassnode's analysis, Bitcoin's monthly capital inflows have turned negative for the first time since late 2025, indicating weakening market confidence that could lead to further price declines.
- Long-Term Holder Losses: Long-term holders (LTHs) are realizing significant losses, with the 30-day moving average revealing loss patterns similar to past bear markets, reflecting increasing market fatigue.
- Psychological Exhaustion: Bitcoin's price fluctuating within a tight range of $50,000 to $60,000 indicates investor psychological exhaustion, which may prompt more holders to sell, exacerbating downward market pressure.
- Cautious Future Outlook: While current data suggests market caution, if capital inflows resume and losses taper, Bitcoin could rebound in 2026, necessitating investors to closely monitor trends in realized capital.
