On-chain data shows the Bitcoin NUPL metric currently has values that would suggest the bear market is yet to hit in full swing, if the coin is in one. Bitcoin NUPL Value Still Not As Low As Previous Bear Markets As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the BTC NUPL metric suggests market hasn’t neared a bear market bottom yet. The “net unrealized profile/loss” (or NUPL in short) is an indicator that tells us about the ratio of profit and loss in the Bitcoin market. The metric’s value is calculated by taking the difference between the market cap and the realized cap, and dividing it by the market cap. When the NUPL has a value greater than zero, it means there are more coins in profit than ones in loss at the moment. On the other hand, negative values of the indicator imply that investors are, on average, in a state of loss right now.

In the previous bear markets, the indicator’s value has usually fallen off below zero (blue) as a bottom approached. In the lead up to these bearish periods have been the yellow and green phases, but currently the NUPL still looks to be in the yellow zone. This may mean that if Bitcoin has already entered into a bear market, it has still some ways to go before total capitulation and bottom formation.

Arthur Hayes Says However, it’s worth noting that there have been instances before where the indicator dropped into the yellow zone after a bull rally, but then jumped back up soon after as the bullish trend continued, indicating a mid-cycle bottom formation instead. The latest example of this was during the mini-bear period of May-July 2021, where the coin bottomed at around $28k and rallied on to a new ATH. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $41.4k, up 6% in the past week. Over the last month, the crypto has gained 8% in value.

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin exchange reserve has lost another 50k BTC over the past week, a sign that could be bullish for the price of the crypto. Bitcoin Exchange Reserve Continues To Observe Further Decline In Recent Weeks As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, 50k BTC in net outflows has exited exchange wallets over the past week. The “all exchanges reserve” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin stored in wallets of all centralized exchanges. When the value of this metric goes up, it means the supply on exchanges is rising as investors deposit a net amount of coins. Such a trend may be bearish for the price of the coin as holders usually transfer to exchanges for selling purposes. On the other hand, the reserve’s value decreasing implies that a net amount of Bitcoin is exiting exchange wallets at the moment. This kind of trend when sustained over a period can prove to be bullish for the coin’s price as it may be a sign that investors are accumulating.

In the past week alone, the metric has dropped 50k BTC in value. The last couple of days especially saw large downward spikes amounting to around 10k to 11k BTC. Related Reading | Mike Novogratz: Bitcoin Price To Range Between $30k-$50k Throughout The Year The exchange reserve has traditionally been considered the “selling supply” of the coin. As it has been shrinking for a while now, the effect on the price should be positive due to supply-demand dynamics. Some have referred to this decline as creating a “supply shock” in the market. However, recent data suggests that the reserve is no longer the main source of selling pressure, coins exiting from exchanges have instead just shifted into investment vehicles like ETFs. Nonetheless, the reserve declining does reduce part of the selling supply so the net effect of such a trend may still be bullish.
