Bitcoin Supply Stress Ratio Reaches Highest Since September: What It Means

On-chain data shows that the Bitcoin “Supply Stress Ratio” has climbed to 0.23 recently, a sign that may not be positive for the BTC market. Bitcoin Supply Stress Ratio Indicates Market Currently Under Stress In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about the the latest trend in the Bitcoin Supply Stress Ratio. The “Supply Stress Ratio” here refers to an indicator that measures, in the analytics firm’s words, “the relative magnitude of supply in loss.” The BTC Blockchain data is public, meaning anyone can look at the transaction history that the users have participated in. This allows for a way to track things like investor cost basis and profit-loss status. The cost basis of the holders, also known as the Realized Price , can be obtained by assuming that the previous transaction of any token of the cryptocurrency represents the last time that it changed hands. That is, the price at its time was its acquisition value. Comparison of this cost basis against the current spot price can tell us whether the coin is currently being held at a profit or loss. The Supply Stress Ratio makes use precisely of this data to calculate its value. When the indicator’s value is zero, it means no part of the BTC supply is being held at a loss. In other words, the market isn’t under any ‘stress’. This condition occurs only when the asset’s price is exploring new all-time highs (ATHs). The rest of the time, the metric stays above this mark, indicating some portion of the investors are underwater. The higher the indicator’s value, the more the supply is in loss, and so, the higher the market stress. Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode, that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Supply Stress Ratio over the past year: As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin Supply Stress Ratio has witnessed a jump recently as the asset’s bearish price action has occurred. The indicator is now sitting at a value of 0.23, which is the highest since September. “Historically, values above 0.2 have marked periods of heightened market stress,” notes the analytics firm. In the chart, the data of two other metrics is also displayed. Colored in red is the Realized Price of the Supply in Loss , meaning that it’s the average value at which the loss holders purchased their coins. Similarly, the blue line represents the Realized Price of the Supply in Profit . The stress that the loss investors are under right now is also visible from these metrics, as the spot price of the asset is currently trading notably under the red curve. So far, Bitcoin has shown stabilization around its lows, but it only remains to be seen whether the decline is over or if there is more to come. Naturally, a further drawdown would mean an increase in the Supply Stress Ratio. “If the value continues to rise, it could signal increasing market pressure, potentially reinforcing a broader shift in sentiment,” explains Glassnode. BTC Price Bitcoin has taken to sideways movement recently as its price is still floating around the $83,000 mark, printing flat returns for the week.

Ethereum Analysts Reveal Two Critical Levels to Overcome and Points to Protect for a Rally

Ethereum has faced significant selling pressure in recent weeks and has repeatedly tested lower support levels. According to the latest analysis by crypto research firm MakroVision, ETH has not seen a strong buying reaction so far. The key question now is whether Ethereum has formed a bottom or if the decline will continue. Analysis shows that Ethereum has dropped below multiple support zones and is revisiting deeper liquidity areas. Despite the brief stabilization, no sustained buying momentum has been seen, leaving the risk of further declines high. Analysts list the key critical price zones for ETH as follows: $2,132: First major hurdle. Ethereum must reclaim this level to start a potential recovery. $2,400: A critical area with descending trend lines. Breaking above this level could signal a trend reversal. $1,730: This level has held so far, but another test could weaken the support. $1,544: The lowest liquidity zone, likely the next target if Ethereum breaks below $1,730.

Ethereum Price Remains In Deep Correction As Standard Chartered Slashes ETH Target By 60%

Ethereum price is heading into a long-term correction driven by a wave of on-chain and fundamentals. Standard Chartered’s decision to ditch its Ethereum to $10K prediction is the latest in a series of negatives for the asset. Ethereum Price Continues In Descending Channel Recent price movements for Ethereum (ETH) are unpromising with analysts predicting a steeper drop for the asset. At the moment, Ethereum’s price hovers around $1,930 continuing its unenthusiastic ranging pattern. The MACD indicator confirms widespread buying weakness for the second-largest cryptocurrency with bears reigning supreme. Moving averages are pointing to a neutral trend for Ethereum price, sparking theories over a possible consolidation for the asset. “The price continues to move in a descending channel, indicating a possible continuation of consolidation,” said the pseudonymous LVelarde. At the moment, the Ethereum price is consolidating below the 5-day and 200-day moving averages (MA) with traders scanning the horizon for a potential breakout or rejection. Since ETH fell below $2,000 , a slew of dour sentiment has trailed the asset, casting doubt over its long-term future. “In the short term, technical indicators point to a possible retest of support around $1,800-$1,850, and a break below could reinforce the bearish movement,” said LVelarde. Standard Chartered Slashes Its ETH Prediction Ethereum’s community was roiled by Standard Chartered’s reduction of its ETH prediction for 2025 from $10,000 to $4,000. According to a note, Standard Chartered analysts are predicting ETH will continue underperforming ahead of its 10th anniversary. Analysts termed Ethereum’s decline as a “mid-life crisis” with layer 2 Base taking off $50 billion from ETH’s market capitalization. Meanwhile, the incoming Converge blockchain will snag a portion of Ethereum’s market cap as experts call for a radical change. “Only a proactive change of commercial direction from the Ethereum Foundation – such as taxing layer 2 – could achieve that now, in our view,” read the note. Ethereum ETFs have faltered with the inbound 21Shares liquidations of Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures ETFs. Experts say that Pectra activation on the mainnet can trigger a fresh rally for Ethereum price to a $5,000 valuation.
