Bitcoin aSOPR Rebounds From “1” As Weakness Remains In Market

Data shows the Bitcoin aSOPR has recently been rejected from the neutral level as weakness continues to clutch the market.

Bitcoin aSOPR Rebounds From The “1” Mark As Investors Sell The Rally

As per the latest weekly report from Glassnode, the “get my money back” effect strikes the crypto once again as weakness continues in the market.

The “Spent Output Profit Ratio” (or SOPR in short) is an indicator that tells us whether the overall Bitcoin market is currently selling at a profit or at a loss.

When the value of this metric is greater than one, it means the average investor is selling BTC at a profit right now.

On the other hand, the indicator’s value being below the mark implies the market as a whole is realizing some loss at the moment.

A modified version of the SOPR is the “Adjusted SOPR” (aSOPR), which filters out transactions of all those coins that moved again within an hour of being last transferred. This helps remove noise that doesn’t have any noticeable impacts on the market.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin aSOPR over the past couple of years:

As you can see in the above graph, the Bitcoin aSOPR seems to have followed specific patterns during different phases of the market.

It seems like during bull markets the “aSOPR=1” line has usually acted as support, while the level has provided resistance during bear markets.

The reason behind this trend is that the “1” value represents the breakeven point for the market as at this point investors are selling neither at profit nor at loss.

During bulls, when the metric reaches this point investors start “buying the dip” as they see value in accumulating more around their cost basis.

However, in bear periods, investors rather prefer to sell any rally as soon as the price gets back around their cost basis since holders see the breakeven mark as “getting their money back” (after losing it to bear losses initially).

Most recently, the Bitcoin aSOPR has once again failed a retest of this line, and rebounded back down. This shows that there is still weakness present in the market and the bear continues.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $20.3k, down 5% in the past week.

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

Meta's head of crypto to step down at end of year

In explaining his decision to leave Meta, David Marcus said that his entrepreneurial DNA had been nudging him “for too many mornings in a row to continue ignoring.” David Marcus, the head of Meta’s cryptocurrency and fintech unit Novi, will step down from his role by the end of 2021. Taking over from Marcus will be Stephane Kasriel, the former CEO of Upwork who has been at Meta, formerly known as Facebook, since August 2020. Marcus announced the decision via a Dec. 1 tweet , noting that he had made the “difficult decision” to leave the firm by the end of this year. The exec didn’t go into detail about what his next move would be, but hinted that it may be something “new and exciting” that he builds himself: “While there’s still so much to do right on the heels of launching Novi — and I remain as passionate as ever about the need for change in our payments and financial systems — my entrepreneurial DNA has been nudging me for too many mornings in a row to continue ignoring it.” Ma...
