Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Cost Basis Set at $111,400

Glassnode's recent analysis highlights the significance of Bitcoin's Short-Term Holder (STH) Cost Basis, currently at $111,400. This metric represents the average acquisition level for investors who bought BTC within the last 155 days.

  • The STH Cost Basis acts as a historical battleground between bullish and bearish sentiments.
  • If Bitcoin's price trades above this level, holders see unrealized profits; if below, the market is considered underwater.
  • The current spot price of Bitcoin is close to this cost basis, suggesting potential retesting if downward momentum persists.
  • Historically, this level has alternated between support and resistance.
  • STHs are reactive investors: they buy during perceived dips and sell at break-even points in bearish conditions.
  • A sustained drop below the STH Cost Basis may indicate a shift toward a longer-term bearish trend.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading near $112,800, with no substantial recovery after recent declines.
