Bitcoin LTH Realized Supply at 8.05M BTC, Z-Score 2.66, down 5.5% from peak. Cycle comparison with C2016 and C2020 - key signals for March 2026.
Bitcoin Net Taker Volume SMA-7D reversed from -1.66 to +0.18 in under two weeks - buyers dominate for 3 days straight. Yet funding rates closed negative 23 of last 30 days. Reversal or trap?
BTC trades 24% below STH realized price ($88.9K) while LTH cost basis holds at $52.9K. On-chain redistribution structure, key levels and triggers.
STH SOPR below 1.0 for 7 of 8 days signals sustained loss realization. Cohort cost basis at ~$89K vs. market price ~$67K - key supply zone to watch.
An anomalous BTC outflow was recorded this week: -31,900 BTC in a single day, which historically corresponds to large-scale accumulation. At the same time, stablecoin netflow turned negative - liquidity began leaving exchanges alongside BTC.
The structural and regime indicators have moved into positive territory in sync for the first time in three months. The only remaining drag - the funding rate - is still negative.
Funding has been persistently negative for the second week in a row - short positions dominate the derivatives structure. Open interest has declined from $47.6B to $20.8B, signaling a major deleveraging event - the market has unloaded, but sentiment remains bearish.
The Sharpe Ratio is in deeply negative territory (-63 on the 365d, -287 on the fast version), and the MVRV Z-Score is at 0.49 - below its historical mean. The market is not paying for risk: risk-adjusted returns are negative, and network valuation is neutral but does not provide a buy signal.
Supply in Loss has broken through the historically significant capitulation zone (-46%), while ETF netflow has returned to positive territory for the first time in five weeks. The question is whether this is a reversal or a bull trap.
This brief covers the buildup of Bitcoin exchange supply over the past 45 days. As long as cumulative netflow remains positive, the potential for sustained price growth stays limited.
This brief examines the divergence between the mathematical and psychological assessments of the cycle bottom. The MVRV Z-Score signals anomalous pressure relative to past cycles, but NUPL does not confirm capitulation - and historically, sustained cycle reversals have rarely formed without it.
