The cryptocurrency market has weathered a challenging period, testing the resolve of the most seasoned investors. After a prolonged period of downward pressure, the Bitcoin Supply-Loss Chart is flashing a possible bottom signal. A Deeper Look At Bitcoin Supply In Loss Chart Bitcoin on-chain data on the loss chart is currently flashing a possible bottom. In an X post, CryptosRus has revealed that the supply in the Loss metric chart tracks the total amount of BTC held by addresses where the current market price is below the average cost basis of those holdings. Essentially, the portion of BTC owners is currently underwater on their investment. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Bottom Out In 300 Days: Top Expert Forecasts $38,000 To $50,000 Price Point As a sentiment indicator, the high levels of supply in the Loss chart typically signal fear, capitulation selling, and potential market bottoms. In addition, the low levels indicate broad profitability and market greed. On April 7, 2025, when BTC traded around $74,508, the supply in loss was 5.159 million BTC. By November 5, 2025, even with BTC rising to $98,966, the supply in loss had also increased to 5.639 million BTC. During mid-2024, a similar situation reportedly occurred, marking the bottom at that time. The expert also outlined particular areas on the chart marked as 3, 4, and 5, which show uncanny similarities. Furthermore, in October 2025, recent lows showed a sharp spike in losses amid volatility, with approximately 30% of supply going underwater. On the chart, the yellow boxes highlight a rapid build-up, which has been a potent precursor to the market bottom. Currently, the supply in the loss has climbed to 28% and 33%, which is equivalent to 5.5 million BTC to 6.5 million BTC, matching the October endpoint on the chart and echoing the correction patterns seen in 2024. CryptosRus concluded that this may bring short-term bearish pressure, but it could flush out the final weak holders, opening the way for a bounce in Q4 and Q1 2026. The Accumulation Phase Before The Breakout Bitcoin has experienced three major corrections in this cycle, and each one has eventually led to a new all-time high after months of conviction. According to an analyst known as 0xBossman, this correction is no different, and each of these corrections has been brutal in its own way. BTC’s market flushed out the leveraged traders, resulting in them losing it all. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market Peak Indicators Says Hold Despite Crash Below $100,000, What’s Happening? Meanwhile, the boredom that comes as a result of these corrections is what has led to the bearish sentiment. The market feels indecisive, and altcoins have bled. Thus, 0xBossman advised that traders should step back and realize that this consolidation will end with a massive green candle. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

A new technical report from China’s National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center (CVERC) has revealed shocking details about one of the largest Bitcoin hacks in history, which points to a hidden power struggle between China and the United States over $15 billion in Bitcoin. The stolen Bitcoin stayed untouched for four years, which blockchain experts say is unusual for typical hackers. Now, both China and the US are pointing fingers, with some analysts suggesting the US government may have secretly seized the coins. China’s 2020 Bitcoin Hack Raises Questions About US Government Involvement LuBian was a fast-growing Bitcoin mining pool launched in 2020, mainly operating in China and Iran. In late December 2020, hackers attacked its system and stole over 90% of its Bitcoin, matching almost exactly the 127,271 BTC later claimed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ). Related Reading: XRP Set To Lead The Next Bull Rally: Crypto Research Firm Blows The Lid Open Soon after the theft, Chen Zhi, chairman of Prince Group in Cambodia, and his team sent over 1,500 messages on the Bitcoin blockchain, embedded in small transactions, begging the hackers to return the funds and offering a ransom. The hackers never responded. The stolen Bitcoin remained in a single wallet from 2020 until mid-2024, an unusual move, as most hackers move stolen coins quickly. Blockchain experts say this behavior suggests a carefully planned state-level operation. Who Really Controls The 127,000 BTC? In June 2024, the stolen Bitcoin finally moved again to new addresses, which well-known blockchain-tracking companies, including Elliptic and Arkham Intelligence, have identified as being under US government control. Then, on October 14, 2025, the US DOJ announced that it had seized 127,000 Bitcoins from Chen Zhi and charged him with financial crimes. Chinese experts, however, claim these are the same coins stolen from LuBian in 2020, suggesting that the US government may have controlled them years earlier. According to the CVERC report, the unusual behavior of the stolen coins remaining dormant for four years suggests that possible state-level operations are now intersecting with the DOJ’s legal case against Chen. Related Reading: Here Are The Bitcoin Whales That Have Been Dumping BTC And Crashing The Price Blockchain analysis reveals that all 25 Bitcoin wallet addresses mentioned in the US DOJ indictment correspond to the addresses involved in the 2020 hack. Only a tiny fraction of the stolen Bitcoin was ever moved before 2024, highlighting the unusual, state-level nature of the operation. The report further suggests that the US may have acquired the stolen funds long before announcing the seizure, possibly even participating in or benefiting from the original hack. Chinese analysts argue that this appears to be a “state-level double-cross”, where one government used hacking tools to seize digital assets under the cover of law enforcement. Meanwhile, the US DOJ has not explained how it obtained Chen Zhi’s private wallet keys or why those wallets exactly match the stolen LuBian funds, leaving the question of accurate control unresolved.
