The Realized Price is a powerful on-chain indicator that reflects the average price at which coins were last transacted. Using heuristics based on coin age, realized prices can be broken into STH and LTH categories. Short-Term Holder Realized Price includes coins moved within the last 155 days, often the most likely to be spent, while Long-Term Holder Realized Price includes older, less likely to be spent coins.

Recent market activity has been volatile. Bitcoin dipped as low as $111,000 over the weekend but has since rebounded to around $114,000. Despite short-term shakiness, the continued rise in realized prices across the board suggests growing confidence and accumulation behavior among investors.
