On-chain data, however, shows that despite the decline, Bitcoin has not completely lost its long-term bull market structure. Bitcoin’s “Realized Price” data is around $54,300. This metric represents the average cost level of investors in the market. The fact that the current price continues to stay above this level indicates that the market is still generally in profit-taking and that the cost levels of long-term investors constitute a significant support area.

Bitcoin’s MVRV (Most Valuable Rate-to-Voltage) ratio was measured at 1.48. Historically, levels above 3.7 indicate overvaluation and bubble risk in the markets, while levels below 1 are associated with macroeconomic bottoms. Current levels suggest that the market is still far from the overexcitement zone and presents a more balanced picture compared to past cycles.

On the other hand, Bitcoin’s Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) ratio is at 0.33. This data shows that a significant portion of investors are still in profit, but the market has not yet reached a phase of “excessive euphoria.”
