CryptoBriefing and Coinfomania both report CryptoQuant data on long-term holders exiting shallow stress, but give conflicting Bitcoin prices and disagree on whether MVRV fell below 1.0.
CryptoBriefing and Coinfomania both report CryptoQuant data on long-term holders exiting shallow stress, but give conflicting Bitcoin prices and disagree on whether MVRV fell below 1.0.
What all sources agree on
- Bitcoin's long-term holders (6M-10Y cohort) have moved back into net unrealized profit, exiting a period called 'shallow stress'.
- The data originates from CryptoQuant.
- This shift is being framed as a positive/constructive reset for this holder group.
Where the reports disagree
1Current Bitcoin price
As of late September 2026, Bitcoin trades near $84K.
Traders should closely monitor Bitcoin's price as it continues to navigate the $64,000 to $65,000 range, a key resistance level.
What would settle it: A timestamped spot price from a major exchange or price aggregator for the moment each article was published.
2Whether MVRV dropped below 1.0 (underwater) before recovering
The metric compressed, but it didn't crack… MVRV never reached the extreme capitulation or distribution zones… never dropped below 1.0 in this instance.
The current data reveals that Bitcoin's long-term holders are transitioning from a sub-1.0 stress environment to a profit zone.
What would settle it: The original CryptoQuant chart/tweet showing the MVRV time series for the 6M-10Y cohort.
What to make of it
Treat the underlying claim — that long-term holders have moved back into profit, per CryptoQuant — as the shared point; do not rely on either article's specific price level or MVRV trajectory until you check the original CryptoQuant data.
