Despite the market downturn and the widespread negative sentiment in the industry in the wake of the FTX collapse, on-chain data still show reasons to be bullish on Bitcoin. As pointed out by on-chain analyst Will Clemente, it’s enough to look at the long-term holders’s Bitcoin positions: they reached an all-time high despite their profitability being at an all-time low. “Long-term holders buy heavily into the bear market. They set the floor[…] and then those long-term holders distribute their holdings to new market participants in the bull market”, he told…
