Bitcoin Correction Could Deepen Before Recovery as Only 9% of Supply at Loss

Only around 9% of the Bitcoin supply is currently in the red, carrying up to 10% unrealized losses, according to Glassnode.

Comparatively, the local bottom of this cycle saw more than 25% of supply at up to 23% losses, the analysts noted. BTC fell to around $75,000 on April 9 in a correction that took it down 29% from its January peak.

Additionally, global bear markets have reached more than 50% supply with up to 78% losses, Glassnode observed before adding, “This dip remains relatively shallow.”

Not The Peak of This Cycle

The depth of the correction from the August 14 peak of just over $124,000 is currently around 13.4% when the asset double-dipped to $107,500 earlier this week. In the bull market of 2017, BTC fell 36% in September, and in 2021, it fell 24% this month before recovering in the fourth quarter.

However, those previous cycles did not have the massive buying pressure from institutional investors such as ETFs and BTC treasury companies, so this correction could remain muted.

Entrepreneur Ted Pillows observed that the recent correction mimics the Q2, 2025 and Q3 2024 dumps when the asset fell by 30%.

Meanwhile, MN Fund co-founder Michaël van de Poppe said that the closer we get to the Sept. 17 Federal Reserve meeting, when there is a 91% chance rates will fall, the less likely this correction will continue.

BTC Starts to Recover

Bitcoin is leading the markets on Wednesday morning in Asia, having tapped $111,500, climbing from an intraday low of $108,500 on Tuesday.

Aside from a few spurious dips, the asset has been climbing since Monday and now needs to recover key resistance at $112,000. Failure to break above this level could lead to a plunge to support at $105,000 and a deeper correction.

BTC has pulled total market capitalization up 1.3% on the day to reach $3.93 trillion at the time of writing.
