Data from Glassnode reveals Bitcoin holders realized 14 times more losses than profits in recent weeks.

Bitcoin 7-Day MA Realized Profit/Loss Ratio Sets New All-Time Low

As per the latest weekly report from Glassnode, the realized profit/loss ratio has assumed its lowest value ever recently.

Whenever a coin sits idle on the chain and the price of Bitcoin changes, it accumulates some amount of profit or loss, depending upon the direction of the price fluctuation.

This profit or loss is called “unrealized” so as long as the coin holds still in the same wallet, but as soon as the holder moves/sells this coin, the total amount of profit/loss it was carrying is then said to be “realized.”

The realized profit and the realized loss metrics keep track of such amounts of profit and loss being harvested by investors across the BTC market.

Now, the “realized profit/loss ratio” is an indicator that measures the ratio between the current values of these two metrics.

Here is a chart that shows the trend in the 7-day moving average of this Bitcoin ratio over the history of the crypto:

As you can see in the above graph, the Bitcoin realized profit/loss ratio has plunged deep below a value of 1 following the FTX crash.

When the indicator has values in this zone (that is, when it’s less than 1), it means BTC investors are realizing a higher amount of loss than profit right now.

In the latest plunge, the metric not only dropped to pretty low values, it in fact recorded a new all-time low. This bottom level corresponded to the loss realization being 14 times more than profit realization.

Bitcoin Now Undervalued For 170 Days, How Does This Compare With Previous Bears?

From the chart, it’s apparent that deep lows like now have historically been observed at or near bottoms in previous bear markets, which means they have always been at the center of macro market regime shifts.

If the same trend follows this time as well, then the current Bitcoin market may also be in the middle of such a shift.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $16.9k, up 3% in the last week. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 20% in value.

The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
