According to Odaily, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that Bitcoin's recent Realized Profits have reached their highest level since 2026. Data shows that as of August 20, the market had accumulated approximately $1.65 billion in realized profits that day, indicating that a large number of investors are taking profits at current highs.Darkfost noted that as realized profits continue to climb, the market requires sustained new demand to absorb selling pressure. At present, buyer demand remains stable and is able to absorb the supply pressure from investors exiting with profits. If capital inflows and market demand continue to hold up in the coming period, the current increase in profit-taking activity does not yet pose a significant risk; however, if demand weakens, the growing profit-taking sell-off could exert downward pressure on prices.
