The Potential Level Bitcoin Can Sink To
Amid Bitcoin’s recent struggles, CryptoQuant’s Head of Research, Julio Moreno, has revealed the potential level at which Bitcoin could sink. Moreno explains that he evaluates this by looking at the realized price of 1 to 3 month-old holders.
The Concept of Realized Price
The realized price is an indicator that shows the average price at which investors acquired their Bitcoin. It uses on-chain data to determine the cost basis of holders. When the spot price is above the realized price, it indicates unrealized gains for investors. Conversely, if the spot price is lower than the metric, it suggests that the market is underwater.
