TL;DR
Bitcoin surged past $62,000 after the US Fed lowered interest rates, with 88% of holders now in profit. Analysts remain bullish on BTC, predicting further gains if it reclaims the $65,000 resistance level, with optimism growing for an extended bull run.
Bitcoins price witnessed a substantial uptick lately, crossing $62,000 following the long-anticipated pivot from the US Federal Reserve. Americas central bank lowered interest rates on September 18 for the first time in years, making money-borrowing cheaper and potentially boosting investor interest in risk-on assets such as BTC.
According to IntoTheBlock, almost 88% of the HODLers are currently sitting on paper profits, while 12% are breakeven. Whats more interesting is that nobody holding the asset is underwater at the moment.
BTC Holders, Source: IntoTheBlock IntoTheBlock data further shows that 71% of the BTC holders are long-term investors, entering the ecosystem over 12 months ago. 25% have done so in the past year, whereas only 5% hopped on the bandwagon in the last 30 days.
Another high-ranked cryptocurrency whose holders are predominantly in the green is Tron (TRX). Currently, 94% of its investors are sitting on paper profits, 3.4% are break-even, and only 2.7% are down on their initial investments.
TRXs price is slightly down on a weekly scale but well in the green since the start of the year. It trades at around $0.15 as of the moment, meaning a 50% increase since January 1.
Bitcoins resurgence was met with huge enthusiasm from numerous members of the cryptocurrency community, some of whom believe the rally is nowhere near its end.
