The NUPL indicator measures the difference between unrealized profits and losses on the Bitcoin network. The indicator is categorized into five main psychological stages: Capitulation, Hope/Fear, Optimism/Anxiety, Belief/Denial, and Euphoria/Greed.

Psychological Stages in the Market:

1. Capitulation:

- This stage shows periods of sharp price declines, where investors sell their holdings at significant losses, leading to an increase in unrealized losses. Examples include the periods from 2011-2012, 2014, and 2018.

2. Hope/Fear:

- In this stage, the market begins to recover slowly, with slight price increases reducing unrealized losses, creating a balance between hope and fear. Examples include the periods from 2012-2013, 2015, and 2019.

3. Optimism/Anxiety:

- This stage is characterized by clear price increases and the emergence of unrealized profits, but it is accompanied by some anxiety over potential downturns. Examples include the periods from 2013, 2016, and 2020.

4. Belief/Denial:

- In this stage, there is a continuous rise in prices, increasing unrealized profits and reinforcing the belief that the upward trend will continue. Examples include the periods from 2013-2014, 2017, and 2021.

5. Euphoria/Greed:

- The market reaches very high peaks in this stage, with unrealized profits at their maximum, reflecting extreme greed among investors. Examples include the ends of 2013, 2017, and 2021.
