Bitcoin has managed to consolidate higher in the charts after a few consistent surges; other major assets have followed BTC’s path in improving their respective valuations.

Despite rising market caps, the address profitability for certain major cryptos has not mirrored their current market performance.

Data from intotheblock.com indicated that a majority of the addresses holding BTC had a higher percentage of money coming in on their holdings rather than outflow.

The chart exhibited that 79.23 percent of the addresses entered the market before the current BTC valuation of $8955, whereas around 15.61 percent of the addresses bought their BTC above it.

The site also calculated an address’s profit or loss by adding all sells and subtracting all buys made by an address in its entire history. On observing the address profitability chart, Bitcoin holders stood tall with heavy bags. 22.61 million addresses incurring a profit in the current market; 20.73 percent of the addresses incurred a loss, while 0.86 percent remained at a break-even stage.
