After examining the Bitcoin Realized Price – UTXO Age Bands metric, the expert revealed that the cost basis from 1m–3m STHs is currently sitting around $114,700, which BTC is still trading below. What this means is that these investors, who acquired BTC at higher prices during the recent rally, are now facing losses.
However, for investors who entered more than 3 months ago, their cost basis is positioned closer to the $106,800, just like those acquiring the flagship asset right now. With BTC trading above the $111,000 price level, this positioning implies that these slightly older investors are still in profit.
According to Darkfost, the investors are currently serving as a buffer zone, and their price range continues to hold up well as a strong support point. Nonetheless, in earlier corrections, even this group was finally put under pressure.
During the weekend, BTC Realized losses (7-day MA) rose to $750 million per day. This figure marks one of its highest levels in the ongoing cycle when compared to what was observed around the summer 2024 correction.
