On February 6, on-chain data analyst Murphy tweeted that as of February 5, several key long-term holder (LTH) metrics had neared critical thresholds: Both the 7-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) of the LTH Realized Profit/Loss Ratio (LTH-RPRL) and LTH Spent Output Profit Ratio (LTH-SOPR) had dropped to 1. This signals long-term holders are overall no longer profitable and on the cusp of structural capitulation. Meanwhile, large volumes of long-term, loss-making tokens have flowed onto exchanges—hinting the market may be approaching the "straw that breaks the camel's back" moment. Historically, when LTHs capitulate en masse, it often coincides with the most volatile price swings in each bear market cycle, marking the darkest hour before the dawn.

Dates follow U.S. formatting (month-day), and "stand at" is a natural phrase for current market metrics.

**Crypto Influencer & Ex-FTX Partner: Bitcoin’s -5.65σ Drop Nears “Industrial-Level Impossible”** On February 6, Benson Sun—crypto KOL and former FTX Community Partner—posted that Bitcoin (BTC) saw an extreme downswing this morning. Calculated over a 200-day lookback period, BTC’s decline hit **-5.65 standard deviations (σ)**. In manufacturing, the Six Sigma standard allows just 3.4 defects per million occurrences, defined as “almost impossible” in human industrial civilization. Yesterday’s BTC volatility was only 0.35σ away from this “industrial-level impossibility.” A -5.65σ event has a theoretical normal distribution probability of roughly 1 in 1 billion. While financial markets have “fat tails” (extreme events more likely than normal distribution predicts), BTC has only seen this level of volatility **4 times** since its trading launch in July 2010—accounting for ~0.07% of all trading days. Even during the deep bear markets of 2018 and 2022, no such rapid decline occurred
