CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr stated that short-term holders (STH) of Bitcoin are currently at a loss relative to their entry cost, but the realized loss is limited, and there are no signs of large-scale selling or capitulation in the market. The STH MVRV is approximately maintained at 0.94, remaining below the 1.0 parity level for 98 consecutive days, corresponding to over three months of sustained unrealized losses. This group has a realized price of about $67,300, while the spot price is around $63,200, with an average unrealized loss of about 6%. The price still stands above the -1σ support level of $59,300, with a deeper pressure zone at -2σ located at $49,200, showing a controllable pullback rather than structural damage.In terms of behavioral indicators, the STH SOPR (7-day moving average) is running at about 0.996, slightly below 1.0, indicating that this group is on average realizing small losses, but the losses are shallow and close to the breakeven line. The indicator has recently fluctuated narrowly between 0.996 and 1.002, briefly touching 1.0 on August 10 before retreating, with no signs of a deep selling wave. MVRV and SOPR corroborate each other: short-term holders are under pressure and realizing small losses, but this has not evolved into panic selling.Analysis points out that an upward recovery requires SOPR to stabilize above 1.0 and MVRV to rise above 1.0 (with the spot price breaking above the realized price of about $67,300); the downside risk lies in losing the $59,300 -1σ support and extending towards $49,200, while SOPR further weakens. The current structure is still supported, with pressure present but no signs of capitulation selling yet.

According to Caixin, Yushu Technology has not yet officially gone public, but trading around this popular new stock has already begun in advance. On second-hand trading platforms like Xianyu, there are multiple pieces of information regarding the acquisition and sale of Yushu Technology's new stock subscription rights. Currently, several intermediaries are acquiring this new stock through various channels, with significant discrepancies in pricing. Some intermediaries are offering 520 yuan/share (the issue price is 150.8 yuan/share), while others are quoting 410 yuan/share. Among some investors and intermediary groups, this type of trading is also referred to as "dark trading."At present, this trading remains a very small-scale activity. Many market participants, including brokers and public funds, have stated that they had not heard of any so-called "dark trading" related to new stock subscriptions on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board before. Its sudden emergence may be related to Yushu Technology's extremely low subscription rate and high expectations for listing gains. The recent private acquisitions of new stocks in the A-share market are based on informal verbal agreements and are not legally protected.
