Crypto Sentiment

This week the sentiment towards the cryptocurrency markets has not changed
significantly compared to last week’s index. The index currently stands at “21”.

Another data to evaluate the sentiment of the general public would be to look at Spent
Output Profit Ratio (SOPR). What is SOPR? In laymen terms, it indicates if people have
sold at a profit or if they sold at a loss. An SOPR value above 1 indicates that profit
booking dominated loss booking and below 1 indicates that loss booking dominated
profit booking. A value of 1 indicates that the coins were sold at their purchase price.
The Adjusted SOPR filters out transactions that are younger than 1 hour, thus,
clearing out noise from the metric.

The aSOPR for this week is at 0.9. During bear markets we have seen that the metric
oscillates below 1. As aSOPR reaches a value of 1, investors start selling their coins and
the metric falls below 1. The oscillation continues for an extended period of time
before final capitulation happens and the trend reverses.

 

Is there any demand for Crypto?

Balance on exchanges has reduced by 24% from its peak in March 2020. This signifies
more investors are transferring their coins from exchanges to their wallets. The
number of addresses with non-zero balance is at all-time high value of 42.5 million.
This can be attributed to high growth adoption of Bitcoin network.

Increase in number of unique addresses holding at least 10 BTC is one of the positive
signs that we see in this bear market.

 

What could play out?

MVRV ratio is equal to the market capital divided by realized capital of Bitcoin. Realized
capital unlike market capital does not use the current market price, but rather uses the
prices each Bitcoin when they last moved.

So, for example if the price of most of the Bitcoin when they last moved was $10,000
and the current price is $60,000. Then the MVRV ratio would stand at 6. This means
that the market is extremely heated and profit booking is likely. On the other hand, if
the of most of the Bitcoin when they last moved was near the market price, then the
CMP can be considered as the bottom.

MVRV ratio has not changed much compared to last week. Currently the ratio stands
at 0.94. The metric is oscillating below 1 which is the general trend in most of the bear
cycles.

Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) is the ratio of market cap of BTC divided by the market
cap of all stablecoins.

High SSR value indicates supply of stablecoins is low compared to the market cap
of BTC. This means low buying potential and possible price drop.

Low SSR value indicates supply of stablecoins is more compared to the market cap
of BTC. This means high buying potential and possible price rise.

Currently, SSR is at all-time low indicating high buying potential.
