On-chain data shows the Bitcoin short-term holder SOPR is approaching the “breakeven” value, a point that has acted as resistance for the crypto’s price in the past.
Bitcoin Short-Term Holder SOPR Surges Up And Approaches A Value Of “1”
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the selling pressure from the short-term holders may see an increase if their SOPR keeps rising up.
The “Spent Output Profit Ratio” (or SOPR in short) is an indicator that tells us whether the Bitcoin market as a whole is currently selling at a profit or at a loss.
The metric works by going through the on-chain history of each coin being sold to see what price it sold at before this. If the previous value of any coin was less than the current price, than that coin moved at a profit just now.
While the last selling price being lesser than the latest one would imply the sale of the coin lead to a realization of loss.
When the SOPR’s value is greater than one, it means the overall market is selling at a profit at the moment. On the other hand, values below the threshold suggest the average investor is moving BTC at a loss.
Now, the “short-term holders” (STHs) include all Bitcoin investors who sell their coins after holding them for less than 155 days. The below chart shows the trend in the SOPR specifically for this cohort.
