On-chain analysis looks at Realized Price as the value of all BTC at the time they were last moved (bought), with the metric arrived by taking into consideration Bitcoin’s circulating supply.

A measure of the value of these coins is equivalent to the coin’s ‘average cost basis’, and is not the same as the current price of Bitcoin in the market. For instance, BTC is trading near $21,330 at the time of writing, but realized price is around $21,700.

Bitcoin price has moved below its realized price multiple times over the years, with the last four occasions being in December 2018, March 2020 and in 2022 – June/July and now August.

Historically, a decrease below the BTC realized price has marked cycle lows and have been followed by an upside bounce, on occasion with new all-time highs reached. However, the measure of how long price stays below the metric differs. 

In 2018, it took four months for the actual price to bounce above the metric, but lasted less than two weeks in March 2020.

In June, Bitcoin stayed below the realized price for a month before a brief upside.
