THE LATEST PROFIT AND LOSS TRENDS IN THE BITCOIN MARKET
Taking a look at advanced bitcoin market metrics, like SOPR, long-term holder cost basis, spent volume and long-term holder MVRV.
First up is the spent output profit ratio, which tells us the degree of realized profit or loss for all coins moved on chain. When SOPR trends higher, profits are being realized (value greater than 1). When it trends lower, losses are being realized (value less than 1). We use ”adjusted SOPR” which ignores all outputs within a lifespan of less than one hour.
During the 2020 Q4 price move-up, we saw strategic profits being taken which is more evident when looking at just long-term holder SOPR. After a higher period of profit taking then and realizing losses in the summer, we’re in a tighter compressed profit and loss range of less than 3% to 5%, signaling that the market is waiting for bitcoin’s next move.
Over the last few months, we’ve also seen long-term holders realize lower, more volatile returns on their sold coins (relative to earlier in the year at all-time highs) indicating an increase in their cost basis of coins. During the bull market, long-term holders were realizing 300% to 500% profit returns selling much older coins with a lower cost basis. Now we see those returns starting to cool off as their cost basis has grown to $14,500 from $68,000 since June.
