  • Bitcoin short-term holders are sitting on about 6% in unrealized losses relative to their average purchase price, but the market has not yet entered a phase of broad capitulation, according to the analysis.
  • Axel Adler Jr. said short-term holders' MVRV is about 0.94, while the seven-day moving average of SOPR is about 0.996, suggesting losses remain limited and the market is closer to a controlled loss phase.
  • Adler added that if the $59,300 support level holds, the bearish structure would not be significantly damaged. If it breaks, the risk of a correction toward $49,200 could rise. Conversely, a recovery above $67,300 and SOPR above 1 could signal a reversal in investor sentiment.

Forecast Trend Report by Period

Bitcoin short-term holders are sitting on unrealized losses of about 6% relative to their average purchase price, but limited realized losses suggest the market has yet to enter a full-scale capitulation phase.

MVRV, a metric that shows the average profit-and-loss position of short-term holders, is about 0.94 and has remained below the baseline of 1 for 98 consecutive days. That indicates short-term holders have been in a loss position on average for more than three months.

SOPR, which tracks realized profit and loss during actual sales, is closer to break-even. Its seven-day moving average stands at about 0.996. Adler wrote that short-term holders are realizing losses, but the scale is limited, making current conditions closer to a controlled loss phase than to capitulation.
