On-chain metrics are widely used to gauge Bitcoin’s market health and potential turning points. Bitcoin Magazine highlights a suite of indicators—including realized HODL ratio, market-value-to-realized-value z-score, reserve risk, and the Mayer Multiple—used together to identify long‑term cycle tops and bottoms, noting that their predictive power may evolve as Bitcoin matures. Recent on-chain volume data shows a five‑year low in BTC terms but a still‑substantial dollar‑denominated transfer volume, while miner fee revenue as a share of mining income has fallen to 1.46%. Glassnode’s analysis indicates that only about 12% of short‑term holders are in profit compared with long‑term holders who enjoy an average 28% gain, underscoring the disparity between short‑term traders and long‑term investors. Additional metrics such as the Terminal Price, Puell Multiple, MVRV Z‑Score, Active Address Sentiment, and Spent Output Profit Ratio suggest that while some signals point to continued upside, others warn of potential profit‑taking and a need for consolidation.
On-chain volume in BTC terms has hit a five‑year low at 329,226 BTC per day, while dollar‑denominated volume remains around $15.2 billion.
Only 11.7% of short‑term holders are currently in profit, compared with long‑term holders who have an average 28% gain.
The MVRV Z‑Score is around 3.00, below the historically overheated red zone, indicating room for further price growth.
The Puell Multiple has risen above 1, signaling miner profitability and historically aligning with later stages of bull cycles.
Active address sentiment shows a slight cooling after rapid price gains, suggesting a consolidation phase rather than immediate overbought conditions.
It is viewed as a short‑term bearish indicator because it reflects reduced demand to use the network, though dollar‑denominated volume remains high.
Short‑term holders have an aggregate break‑even price of about $28,600 and only 11.7% are in profit, while long‑term holders have an average realized price of $20,300, yielding roughly a 28% profit.
With a score near 3.00, it remains below the red‑zone threshold that typically signals an overheated market, implying potential for further upside.
The increase may reflect heightened profit‑taking as the market enters later cycle stages, though ETF adoption could also affect the metric.
Fees as a percentage of mining revenue have dropped to 1.46%, but miner profit margins remain large, so fee revenue is not presently a worry.
