Bitcoin has surged to a fresh all-time high of $124,457 on Thursday, marking a milestone in the world’s largest crypto’s 17-year history. The rally comes just weeks after BTC was trading nearly 10% below current levels during July’s pullback.

Glassnode data shows that 99% of BTC supply is now in profit, a level that remained as high as 95% even during last month’s correction. 

Typically, when 99% of supply is in profit and holders aren’t selling, it shows strong conviction that can sustain higher prices.

Even during July’s pullback, the share of Bitcoin supply in profit never dropped below a key threshold tracked by Glassnode. Analysts note that stability shows most investors held onto their gains instead of selling under pressure, indicating confidence that helped the market withstand volatility and rebound to record highs.

After sliding 9% in July, Bitcoin staged a sharp comeback, climbing to within 1% of its previous peak before breaking through to fresh records. 

Glassnode’s analysts point to a pickup in blockchain activity and improving sentiment as key drivers behind the move, helping propel the BTC price back into price discovery.
