The Bitcoin market may be close to a decision point as on-chain data shows the Adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio (aSOPR) is retesting the 1.0 level.<\/p>\n
According to the latest weekly report from Glassnode<\/a>, the BTC market had shifted towards a profit-dominated regime back in January. The “aSOPR<\/a>” is an indicator that tells us whether the average investor is selling their Bitcoin at a profit or at a loss currently.<\/p>\n The “adjusted” in aSOPR comes from the fact that this metric has been adjusted for filtering out transactions\/sales of all coins that were done within only one hour of the previous transaction\/purchase. The benefit of making this restriction is that it removes all noise from the data that wouldn’t have had any noticeable implications for the market.<\/p>\n When the value of this indicator is greater than 1.0, it means the total amount of profits being harvested by the investors is more than the losses right now. On the other hand, values of the metric below the threshold suggest the market as a whole is realizing some losses at the moment.<\/p>\n The 1.0 level itself naturally serves as the break-even mark, where the total amount of profits becomes equal to the losses.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin aSOPR over the last few months:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Historically, the aSOPR 1.0 level has been quite important for Bitcoin, as it has represented the mark where the transition<\/a> between bullish and bearish trends has taken place.<\/p>\n During bear markets, the indicator generally stays under this level, as investors naturally realize large losses. The mark acts as resistance in such market conditions, meaning that any attempts to break above it usually end up in failure.<\/p>\nThe value of the metric seems to have been above the 1.0 mark in recent days | Source: Glassnode's The Week Onchain - Week 17, 2023<\/a><\/pre>\n
