Bitcoin Price Falls Below STH Realized Price for Second Time in 2025

Bitcoin's price has closed below a critical level for the second time in 2025, raising concerns about potential further corrections. The Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, currently at approximately $108,928, serves as an important indicator for short-term investors.

Key Points

  • The STH Realized Price reflects the cost basis for investors holding Bitcoin for 155 days or less.
  • Historically, Bitcoin tends to trade above this price during bullish periods and below it during bearish phases.
  • In February, Bitcoin fell nearly 20% after closing beneath the STH Realized Price, dropping from around $92,000 to $76,000.
  • If the current trend continues, a similar decline could see Bitcoin drop to approximately $86,000.
  • As of now, Bitcoin's price is around $108,675, showing a slight increase of 0.4% in the last 24 hours but down over 5% in the past week.

Kesmeci noted that repeated closures below the STH Realized Price indicate ongoing corrective pressure.
