BTC On-Chain Analysis: Bitcoin’s Realized Cap Reaches New All-Time High

2021-9-1 17:20

A look at on-chain analysis for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), more specifically the market and realized capitalization levels.

Despite the decrease in market cap, the realized cap for both ETH and BTC reached new all-time highs on Aug 28.

Market and realized cap

In order to create the market cap (MC), the current BTC price is multiplied with the total number of coins that are mined so far.

The realized cap (RC) also uses the total number of coins that are mined, but multiplies them with the price during the time they last moved instead of the current one. This is done in order to devalue lost coins are those that have not moved for a long time.

The market is in profit if MC > RC, while it is in loss if the opposite is true.

BTC

In bull markets, RC increases considerably, since old coins are spent in order to book profits. Conversely, it decreases in bear markets, when holders sell at a loss.

Despite the considerable drop from the all-time high price in April, RC actually reached a new all-time high of $378 Billion on May 17. After a slight drop, a new all-time high of $387 Billion was reached on Aug. 28.

An interesting development is the fact that RC has not increased that much compared to MC when looking at it from the most recent BTC low on July 20. During this period, RC has increased by 7%.

On the other hand, MC has increased by a full 64%. This means that while the BTC price has been increasing, coins that last moved at lower prices are not on the move.

This could mean one of two things: 

The first is that holders have previously taken profit and are now remaining out of the markets. The second is that they are still holding without taking considerable profit during the ongoing rally. What is clear is that participants are not selling at a loss, since there is no decrease in RC.

Our previous analysis noted that there have been some old coins on the move, especially on Aug. 17. However, the lack of a considerable increase in RC suggests that the selling is not significant when compared to the total number of coins.

ETH

The movement in both MC and RC for ETH is very similar to that of BTC. RC initially reached an all-time high on May 19, only seven days after MC did the same. 

After a slight drop, it continued to increase and reached a new all-time high of $154 Billion on Aug. 28. 

However, when looking at the movement since July 20, MC has increased by 84%, while RC has only done so by 12%

Therefore, similarly to BTC, MC has increased at a much faster than RC in the case of ETH.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Could Three Times Be the Charm for This Resistance Level?

Bitcoin remains in its tightly coiled range as the market continues its sideways trend for the third week in a row. While macro support has been tested three times recently, we have yet to test the overhanging macro resistance:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Narrow RangeThe blue zone outlined above shows a very strong zone of support that, over the last few weeks, has seen three strong tests and has led to a slowly upward-drifting market consolidation.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: New High Paves Potential Reversal Setup

After days and days of consolidation, bitcoin finally managed to break a new high for the first time in almost two weeks. This new high, so far, has been short lived, however, as it was almost immediately sold into by eager bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, 4-Hour Candles, New HighOur current 4-hour candle is seeing a relatively easy retracement after days and days of an upward grind.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Wait and See Where Recent Signs of Strength Lead

This week realized a big gain as bitcoin enjoyed a 25% rally from its local bottom before topping out around $4,400. Support currently appears to be established in the mid-$3,000s as the market remains indecisive over its next move:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Current Support LevelFigure 1 shows the relevance of the current support level as it represents a previous support level that was never properly retested during last year’s parabolic bull market.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Potential Reaccumulation Could Test Bear Trend

Last week, after a devastating move that shook the market violently up and down for a 7% move in just a few short minutes, bitcoin saw a major sign of strength as it proceeded to have a slow, but steady markup where it managed to establish a local high in the $6,800s:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Hourly Candles, Shakeout Prior to MarkupThis shakeout forced the market to temporarily establish a new monthly low in what could be argued to be a stop-hunt prior to the move to the $6,800s.
