Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has seen trades totaling $24 billion, with its current price resting at $43,616. Despite commanding a 54% market share and boasting a market capitalization of $856 billion, the leading cryptocurrency experienced a slight dip of 1.11% in the last 24 hours.

BTC price analysis reveals that Bitcoin encountered significant selling pressure as it fell short of breaching the $45,000 threshold. Notably, prominent cryptocurrency analyst Ali, shared on X, disclosed that Bitcoin whales offloaded approximately 50,000 BTC over the past week, translating to an estimated value of $2.20 billion.

Santiment’s insights on X added a cautionary note, indicating that Bitcoin’s ratio of supply in profit currently stands at 89%. This high figure suggests a need for vigilance as the crypto giant navigates into the new year. Historically, more favorable conditions for further price increases are observed when this metric falls within the 40-70% range. Therefore, the prevailing scenario raises the possibility of Bitcoin encountering additional selling pressure.

📊 $BTC's ratio of supply in profit sits at 89%, a level to be cautious with heading into the new year. Further rises are more likely when this number is more in the 40-70% range. Meanwhile, $MATIC & $LTC sit more comfortably in an opportunity zone. https://t.co/MXFBSQ0R0n pic.twitter.com/kBPTDyi9gz
