Knowledge from Glassnode exhibits Bitcoin hasn’t but seen a crossover within the present cycle that has traditionally marked late-bear intervals.
Bitcoin Brief-Time period Holder Realized Value Is Nonetheless Above Lengthy-Time period Holder’s
Based on the most recent weekly report from Glassnode, the STH and LTH realized value crossover hasn’t but taken place through the present bear market.
The “realized price” is a metric that signifies the fee foundation of the typical holder within the Bitcoin market. Its worth is calculated by dividing the realized cap with the full variety of cash in circulation.
At any time when the standard value of BTC strikes beneath the worth of this indicator, the typical investor goes right into a state of loss.
This value foundation may also naturally be calculated particularly for various holder teams. The related cohorts listed below are the “long-term holders” and the “short-term holders”; here’s a chart displaying the pattern within the realized costs of those two teams over the past a number of years:

Lengthy-term holders (LTHs) embrace all these Bitcoin traders who’ve been holding onto their cash since not less than 155 days in the past, whereas short-term holders (STHs) are those that have stored 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 via a deep capitulation occasion.
Throughout the present bear market, nonetheless, 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 could recommend 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 doubtless happen this month.
