With unrealized profits shrinking across the board, #Bitcoin’s NUPL is now sitting near 0.18, firmly in the Hope/Fear zone. That tells us most holders are not deeply in profit, which makes the market more sensitive to every move. In this kind of phase, upside attempts often struggle. Even small rallies can attract sellers who prefer to lock in limited gains rather than wait for a bigger breakout.

At the same time, if price starts slipping, hesitation can quickly turn into broader selling as confidence fades. It’s usually a reactive environment where follow through is limited and sentiment shifts fast. Careful positioning and patience tend to matter more than aggressive entries when conviction is this thin.
