Bitcoin SOPR
What is STH-SOPR?
Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio measures the proportion of short-term holders (<155 days) that are in a profit (>1), or loss (<1).
Plotted below are Bitcoin's SOPR values (30-day moving average - green) over the major years of exchange trading. Many short-term holders sell at a loss; don't be one of them. Wait. We're in a bull market now, this is no place for weak hands.
Interesting stats: Short-term sellers sold at a loss on 74% of days in bear markets and 8% of days in bull markets*.
* Bull and bear markets were defined as periods when the 90-day price appreciation was >+50% and <-20%. I know, this is not a typical or overly useful definition, but it was required for the project I was working on. Interesting nonetheless.
