Bitcoin Realization Price Marks the Beginning of a Bull Market? | coindesk JAPAN | Coindesk Japan

Bitcoin (BTC)’s 63% year-to-date gain could be the first step towards a bull market.

This is a message that can be read from the momentum that the realization price of Bitcoin exceeds the realization price of long-term holders. A realized price crossover historically marks the end of a bear market and the beginning of a major price rally.

Bitcoin’s realized price is the average price of Bitcoin when it last moved on the chain. Long-term holder realized price, on the other hand, is the average acquisition price of bitcoins that are held outside a centralized exchange and have not moved for at least 155 days.

As of this writing, Bitcoin’s realization price is $20,129, according to Glassnode data, closing in on the long-term holder realization price of $20,845, which has been trending downward since November.
