Bitcoin Deja Vu: History repeating itself with a familiar market pattern
Analyzing the timeframe for Bitcoin's bull market after a cost basis crossover
Definition
STH Realized Price is the average price of the Short-Term Holder BTC supply, valued at the day each coin last transacted on-chain. This is often considered the ‘on-chain cost basis' of this cohort.
STH MVRV Ratio is the ratio between the market value (MV, spot price) and the Realized value (RV, realized price) for the Short-Term Holder Cohort. This allows for a visualization of Bitcoin market cycles and the unrealized profitability of this cohort.
Quick Take
- For months, CryptoSlate has analyzed the transition from bear to bull market, and last week the metric we have been tracking flashed on our screen.
- After each bullish crossover of the STH cost basis above the LTH cost basis tends to be the end of the Bitcoin bear market.
- Now more than ever, it is time to be analyzing the behavior of the short-term holder cohort.
- As the STH supply continues to grow, this will have a knock-on effect on RP and MVRV ratio to continue to grow.
- The MVRV ratio is currently at 0.3, which means the current price is -70% below the market avg cost basis (STH BTC holder is underwater by -70%).
- As Bitcoin continues to consolidate, this will improve the cost basis for both STHs and LTHs.
