This suggests that long-term holders are building positions as the price climbs, which is often seen as a sign of steady market confidence rather than panic buying or selling. Interestingly, CryptoQuant’s Long-Term Holder SOPR, which measures whether coins are being sold at a profit or loss, is currently reading around 1.8. This means most long-term holders who are selling now are doing so at a profit. Source: CryptoQuant Throughout the year, this metric has stayed above 1. That tells us holders are not under pressure to sell at a loss. Instead, they appear to be managing their exits carefully, without triggering wider selling across the market. Price Tests Key Level Once Again A chart shared by Rekt Capital shows Bitcoin pushing above the $117,300 level. This price acted as a breakout zone in mid-July and is now being tested again. A close above this level followed by a retest could support a move toward $120,000. #BTC If Bitcoin is able to replicate its green circled mid-July 2025 Daily Close above ~$117.3k (blue) then Bitcoin has a chance at revisiting $120k sooner rather than later Daily Close above ~$117.3k followed by a post-breakout retest would be ideal $BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/bQWpBJKGAj — Rekt Capital (@rektcapital) October 1, 2025 Traders are watching closely to see if the setup mirrors the earlier pattern that led to a rally. New Quarter Opens With a Breakout A separate chart from Daan Crypto Trades shows Bitcoin breaking out of a downward trend channel that had held since July. The close at the start of October, near $118,600, marked a clean move above resistance. Daan noted that staying above $112,000 would help keep the trend intact. He also said that the start of a new month and quarter often brings short-term volatility. Still, the broader setup remains in favor of continued strength as long as the price holds above key support.
