According to Cryptoquant, at the heart of this investigative approach lies the understanding that long-term holders typically see profitability during bullish periods, leaving short-term investors most affected by market downturns. The recently developed metrics categorize investors by their holding durations, daily and weekly to monthly traders, allowing for precise mapping of financial strain and market responses.
On-Chain Metrics Decipher Market Movements
The analysis employs three key metrics, the MVRV Ratio, SOPR, and Realized Loss, to dissect the financial pressures and responses across these cohorts. Notably, the MVRV Z-Score and SOPR Ratio offer insights into the shifts between unrealized losses and their actualization into realized losses, helping pinpoint critical market inflection points.
For daily traders, frequent price oscillations prompt immediate reactions, making them a primary source of noise and exhaustion signals. Conversely, the weekly-monthly group shows a more moderated response due to their broader time horizon, which dampens the volatility’s impact on their investment decisions.
This comprehensive analysis enhances understanding of market dynamics and aids in anticipating potential lows, making it an invaluable resource for market participants. However, users are advised to approach the data cautiously, considering potential discrepancies in exchange balance representations due to non-disclosure by some exchanges.
