CryptoQuant Flags Rising Bitcoin Supply in Loss as Early Bear Market Pattern Reappears in 2026

On Jan. 28, 2026, on-chain data provider CryptoQuant highlighted a renewed rise in Bitcoin's supply in loss, a metric historically linked to the start of bear markets. When this percentage climbs from 15% to 20%, unrealized losses tend to expand from short-term to long-term holders, suggesting a deeper structural downturn instead of a brief pullback. While BTC traded around $89,688.08 with a 2.2% daily gain and higher volume, its weak weekly performance and comments from Robert Kiyosaki about regretting previous sales underscore lingering concerns about extended downside pressure.
