Bitcoin news on June 2 highlights a price decline to $69,500, with long-term holders experiencing a 15.5% unrealized loss. This metric is significantly below the 50% observed at previous cycle lows, indicating no major capitulation. Bitcoin analysis from Glassnode shows holders are still retaining their positions, with market pressure present but not extreme. The data suggests the bearish phase has not yet reached a deep bottom.

BlockBeats news, June 2: Glassnode reported that Bitcoin's price has fallen to $69,500, with long-term holders' relative unrealized loss at 15.5%.


This means that long-term holders are currently experiencing an average unrealized loss of approximately $0.155 (15.5 cents) on their books for every $1 worth of Bitcoin held. At the extreme bottoms of previous market cycles, this metric exceeded 50%, indicating more than $0.50 in unrealized loss per $1 of holding value.


Data shows that the market is indeed under some pressure, but the level of distress among long-term holders remains far below what is typically seen at historical cycle bottoms. In other words, based on the losses of long-term holders, there are no signs yet of the widespread and deep-seated "capitulation selling" observed in past bear market bottoms.
