In April, the realized price for short-term holders (STH) surged to over $57,547, marking a significant rise and reflecting the bullish sentiment among recent investors. This metric is crucial as it represents the ‘on-chain cost basis’ for coins moved within the last 155 days, showcasing how short-term holders are influencing the market by actively accumulating Bitcoin.

The divergence between short-term and long-term holder realized prices is also notable, with long-term holders (LTH) maintaining a lower average acquisition cost.ย This trend highlights the distinct strategies and market impacts of different investor cohorts.
