Relative Unrealized Loss measures total unrealized loss as a % of market cap, a gauge of how deeply underwater the holder base sits.

As today:
SOL: 54.8%
XRP: 31.8%
BTC: 11.9%
ETH: 16.6%

The elevated loss levels in altcoins reflect how heavy the top is in these markets, where supply is more concentrated among buyers who entered near cycle highs.

Following recent positive momentum across crypto markets, ETH has reclaimed the 1-3 month holder cost basis at $2.3k.
So far, this structure is consistent with a bear market relief rally, comparable to the bounces observed in Q3-Q4 2022, rather than a structural trend reversal.

The Week On-Chain 15, 2026
Approaching the Ceiling

#BTC holds ~$74K, ~5% below key $78K resistance. Spot and ETF demand improve, but profit-taking and cautious options positioning suggest a twitchy, flow-driven recovery lacking strong conviction.

Executive Summary

- Bitcoin has expanded to ~$74K, now 5.2% below the True Market Mean at $78.1K, which remains the key near-term resistance. Short-Term Holder Supply in Profit sits at 43.2%, leaving room for further upside before typical distribution thresholds are reached.

- Profit-taking activity is rising, with the 30D EMA of the Realized Profit/Loss Ratio at 1.16, indicating investors are selling into strength. A sustained move above $78.1K will require the market to absorb this overhead supply.

- Institutional positioning is stabilizing, with ETF inflows and CME exposure rebounding. However, participation remains below prior highs, pointing to a cautious and selective re-engagement rather than a full risk-on shift.

Mean Reclaimed, Rally on Trial

#BTC reclaims $78k as spot demand and ETF inflows return. Shorts build with negative funding, creating squeeze potential. Yet elevated realized profits and soft volatility signal caution, with upside near $80k facing resistance.


Executive Summary

- Bitcoin has broken above the True Market Mean at $78.1k for the first time since mid-January, a significant mean reversion, with the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis at $80.1k now the immediate resistance ceiling.

- ETF flows have turned modestly positive again, with the 7-day moving average shifting back into inflow territory, signaling a tentative return of institutional demand after a prolonged period of outflows.

- Spot demand is showing early signs of recovery, with cumulative volume delta flipping higher and indicating renewed buyer aggression, particularly across offshore venues.

- Gamma and flow frame the setup: upside faces mechanical resistance near 80K, while a move back toward 75K carries higher downside acceleration risk.
