They call it ‘on-chain data,’ we call it another attempt to discern meaning from the howling chaos of the market. As if numbers, carefully plucked from the digital ether, could reveal the inner workings of mass delusion. But here we are, meticulously tracking the cost basis of ‘short-term holders’ – those unfortunate souls who leapt into the fray within the last five months. Poor lambs. 🐑
The Illusion of Support
One Axel Adler Jr., a scribe of the X platform (formerly known as Twitter, a place where profound insights go to die), informs us that Bitcoin is nearing the ‘Realized Price’ of these STHs. A Realized Price, you see, is simply the average amount these speculators paid for their digital trinkets. If the current price dips below this metric, it signifies… well, it signifies they’ve collectively made a rather poor decision. A truth humanity has known for millennia, but now quantified in satoshis.
These STHs, bless their impulsive hearts, represent the ‘weak hands’ – those prone to panic, triggered by a stray headline or the mere suggestion of a downturn. A truly reliable element in any market. A constant. They are the ones who, when presented with a ‘dip,’ imagine it a gift, and buy… only to find the pit grows deeper. 😊 A predictable tragedy, repeated endlessly.
Behold the chart-a majestic line, charting the rising hopes and inevitable disappointments of the last year:
Today, the average STH is nursing a cost basis of $107,000. Once, Bitcoin swaggered comfortably above this level. Now? It circles like a vulture, poised to remind them of their folly. The air, one can practically taste the bitter irony.
This ‘Realized Price,’ it’s often proclaimed, acts as a ‘psychological barrier.’ A psychological barrier! As if Bitcoin investors possess a psychology beyond simple greed and fear. It’s more likely that when the price hovers near this level, the weak hands simply sell… because, naturally, they are weak. 🤦♀️ And when the price briefly rises, they accidentally buy again, because… well, because that’s them.
And there’s also the 200-day simple moving average, lingering at $100,700 – another line in the sand, destined to be crossed and forgotten. A formidable barrier, they say? A mere suggestion to the capricious gods of the market, I say.
Should Bitcoin stumble into this zone between $100,700 and $107,000, it will be…significant. Significant in the same way that watching a particularly clumsy man trip over a pebble is significant. A momentary pause in the larger, ultimately meaningless drama.
A Fleeting Glance at the Price
Bitcoin, in its infinite wisdom, briefly touched $108,800 before remembering it had somewhere else to be and bounced back to $109,800. A grand spectacle. A thrilling saga. A… fluctuation. 🙄
