PANews, August 20 — Bitfinex Alpha's latest weekly report noted that Bitcoin's recent rise was mainly driven by inflows returning to spot ETFs, with net inflows of $486.8 million over the past two trading days. Meanwhile, the market's profit-taking supply has largely been exhausted—the adjusted realized profit/loss ratio (aSOPR) has remained below 1 for 10 consecutive trading days, meaning that moved Bitcoin has been at an average loss. The long-term holder SOPR averaged 0.83 and touched 0.69 on Sunday, while the short-term holder SOPR has fluctuated within 1% of breakeven for 36 consecutive days. Since early June, Bitcoin's price has been confined to the $60,795-$65,700 range. In terms of ETFs, the two-day net inflow was approximately 7,600 BTC, more than eight times the amount of newly mined Bitcoin during the same period, but the demand engine has yet to establish a trend. Implied volatility in options has declined, the market has not formed a directional consensus, and a trend reversal

Glassnode’s weekly report said that a weaker U.S. dollar has not boosted Bitcoin, with the 10-year yield near 4.7%, financial conditions still tight, and high real interest rates continuing to suppress prices; gold and oil prices rose, while BTC did not participate in the broad rally. On-chain spot and short-term cost bases (68,500) are below the realized mean (75,800), indicating a capitulation phase, with relatively shallow and dispersed drawdowns; the realized profit/loss ratio is 0.75, and seller exhaustion has yet to arrive. Off-chain perpetual demand has turned positive, ETF net outflows have slowed, the Coinbase premium is negative, implied volatility has compressed, and confidence has not fully recovered. If yields fall and the realized profit/loss ratio rises above 2, any rebound should be viewed as a local rebound within the bottoming process.
