While the current profit level is still below that threshold, it falls within a critical zone where profit-taking could escalate, introducing potential market volatility.Adler emphasized the need to closely monitor long-term holder behavior as Bitcoin continues to trade near cycle highs, warning that a surge in realized gains could act as a short-term price headwind.
