Data from Glassnode exhibits Bitcoin hasn’t but seen a crossover within the present cycle that has traditionally marked late-bear intervals.

Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Realized Price Is Still Above Long-Term Holder’s

According to the most recent weekly report from Glassnode, the STH and LTH realized worth crossover hasn’t but taken place in the course of the present bear market.

The “realized price” is a metric that signifies the associated fee foundation of the common holder within the Bitcoin market. Its worth is calculated by dividing the realized cap with the overall variety of cash in circulation.

Long-term holders (LTHs) embody all these Bitcoin traders who’ve been holding onto their cash since a minimum of 155 days in the past, whereas short-term holders (STHs) are those that have saved their cash nonetheless for lower than that.

As you’ll be able to see within the above graph, the realized costs (RPs) of those two cohorts noticed crossovers over the last two bear markets.

In these cycles, the LTH RP crossed above the STH RP because the late-bear started. The implication of such a crossover is that cash just lately purchased (within the final 155 days) at the moment are extra worthwhile than these purchased a very long time in the past. This exhibits that the market has gone by way of a deep capitulation occasion.

During the present bear market, nevertheless, the crypto is but to see any such crossover, even after already observing 10 months of decline.

The put up crossover bear interval lasted for 339 days in 2014-15, whereas it was 145 days for 2018-19. This would counsel that the present bear will nonetheless have some time to go earlier than a bull market can begin because the crossover hasn’t even occurred but.

The report notes that on the tempo the 2 metrics are approaching one another, this cross will probably happen this month.
