🐳 Over the past 5 years of Bitcoin's history, no tier of wallets has been more price-correlated to crypto markets than the behavior of whales holding between 100 to 1,000 $BTC. In the past 6 weeks, this group has +337 more wallets, collectively accumulating 122,330 more Bitcoin.

💸 Percent of Total Supply in Profit is a straightforward metric that shows how much of a cryptocurrency’s current circulating supply is held at a profit—meaning the coins were bought at a lower price than they’re worth today. Currently, some notable top caps' supply in profit stats look like:

🪙 Bitcoin $BTC: 98.4%

🪙 Ethereum $ETH: 71.5%

🪙 XRP $XRP: 98.3%

🪙 Dogecoin $DOGE: 77.9%

🪙 Cardano $ADA: 71.0%

🪙 Chainlink $LINK: 80.5%

Even a tiny gain like +0.00001% counts as being “in profit,” making this a simple, yes-or-no measurement of market positioning, for every single coin. It helps investors quickly understand whether most holders are likely feeling optimistic or jaded, based on how their holdings have performed since entering circulation.

As more coins are mined, we will naturally see each coin see more and more of its total supply in profit. But by measuring the ratio of the asset's total supply in profit, we get a clear long-term picture of the market mood at a given moment because it focuses only on the currently available supply. Since crypto supply often increases over time, using percentages avoids misleading conclusions and helps investors gauge whether a coin is relatively overbought or oversold.

When combined with other metrics like MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value), RSI (Relative Strength Index), or Network Realized Profit/Loss, Percent in Profit becomes even more powerful. Crypto is a zero-sum game. So when large portions of a network are heavily in profit, the odds of profit-taking and a short-term pullback rise. But when most holders are sitting at a loss, it often indicates fear, undervaluation, and a potential opportunity to enter or add to a position before a price recovery.

😄 Are traders showing a high level of FOMO as Bitcoin's market value ranges around the $110K level? A bit, but the euphoria has calmed down a bit. And with markets moving the opposite direction of retailers' expectations, we want to continue to see some reasonable doubt.

Over the past week, we have highlighted 3 spots where there is a dangerous level of euphoria, and 3 spots where traders were overly fearful. Look for spots where bearish commentary is outweighing the bullish, as they continue to present great spots for opening & adding on to your positions.

📈 As Bitcoin's profits are redistributed into new altcoins following its recent $112K all-time high, 3 altcoins are seeing particularly high new wallet creation rates:

👉 Wrapped Ethereum $WETH #26

👉 Gatechain $GT #39

👉 Maker $MKR #77

🇺🇸💸 Just a day after Bitcoin's new $112K all-time high was established, tariff drama was quickly brought back on to the menu and has temporarily spoiled the crypto party. President Trump has announced two new major tariff threats as the U.S. heads into Memorial Day weekend:

🇪🇺 A 50% tax on all imports from the European Union

🍎A 25% tariff specifically targeting Apple if the company continues manufacturing iPhones outside the United States

Trump expressed frustration over stalled trade talks with the EU and said these tariffs would start on June 1st unless negotiations improve. He also criticized Apple’s decision to move much of its iPhone production to India and warned that the company would face import taxes unless production is brought back to the U.S.

Trump claims these aggressive tariffs are aimed at fixing what he views as an unfair trade imbalance, particularly with the EU, and to bring more manufacturing jobs back to the United States.

Less than 2 weeks after a cloud appeared to be lifted between the boiling trade war involving the U.S. and China, this new wrinkle has brought back the highest level of tariff discussions since the peak FUD across crypto markets from April 7th to 9th.

Bitcoin has quickly dipped back a bit over 3%, as low as $107.6K. The S&P 500 market reaction was swift and negative as well. The unpredictable nature of the latest trade & tariff policies coming from the U.S. has shifted many traders' strategies into holding and "hoping for the best". We will continue to update as this develops.

Despite the all-time high celebrations, crypto never sleeps. And making the most informed decisions from here will likely come down to following key whale wallets and avoiding crowd think. We talk markets with Thinking Crypto.
