Cointelegraph:35c5e1fff094b: TradingView‘s latest data shows Bitcoin above $62,000, testing resistance. This price move occurs during a downtrend with ongoing price swings. Bitcoin remains below recent high levels amid market uncertainty. The realized volatility shows a fluctuating but consolidating market condition. This market form points to a critical moment where momentum may shift soon. The Advanced Net UTXO Supply Ratio printed its first buy signal since November 2022.

We now have several signals pointing to seller exhaustion.


Understanding the Advanced Net UTXO Supply Ratio

This ratio measures the share of Bitcoin last moved at loss versus profit. A negative reading means more coins are underwater and at loss. Such a pattern often appears near market bottoms and signals shifts. Tradingview data indicates this ratio went negative for the first time in nearly four years. This event marks a major change in investor sentiment and market structure.


Price Action and Recent Market Volatility

Crypto News reports Bitcoin reached $62,295 on Bitstamp on July 2. These levels were not seen since June 24. Price rallied 2.56% that day, fueled partly by $223.5 million in spot ETF inflows. AMBCrypto documented this inflow, showing renewed institutional demand despite the bear market. The 200-week simple moving average stands near $62,652, a strong resistance zone.


Institutional and Miner Activity During the Bear Market

AMBCrypto reports continuous miner selling by firms like RiotPlatform and Mara Holdings. This selling likely comes from the need to cover operational costs with shrinking block subsidies. Mining capitulation signals pressure on supply but can remove weak hands from the market. Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows totaling billions since early May. This reflects ongoing institutional withdrawal from the market. However, recent spot ETF inflows of $223.5 million on July 2 suggest some selective institutional returns.


Profit and Loss Distribution Impact on Market Sentiment

Data from Yahoo Finance shows much of BTC now sits at a loss versus profit. The loss supply surpasses levels seen at the last bear market low. This causes psychological pressure on holders to sell, limiting short-term bullishness. Usually, such conditions come before capitulation and base formation. Cointelegraph analysis finds bear-market indicators often mimic the 2022 bottom zone.


Macro Environment and Its Interplay with Bitcoin

Crypto News notes the broader macroeconomy also affects Bitcoin supply and demand. Stock market capitalization hit new highs alongside record Dow Jones closes.
