On-chain data shows the cost basis of the Bitcoin short-term holders is 
located at $80,700, a level that could come into focus after the latest rally. 
Bitcoin Is Nearing The Short-Term Holder Realized Price In a new post on X, 
cycle analyst Root has shared the latest data for the Realized Price of the 
short-term holders. The &#8220;Realized Price&#8221; here refers to an on-chain metric 
that keeps track of the average cost basis or acquisition level of investors 
on the Bitcoin network. Related Reading: Ethereum Sees First SuperTrend 
Bullish Flip In Over A Year When the value of the cryptocurrency is above this 
indicator, it means the BTC holders as a whole are sitting on some net 
unrealized profit. On the other hand, the asset trading below the metric 
suggests the dominance of loss on the network. In the context of the current 
topic, the Realized Price of only a specific portion of the market is of 
interest: the short-term holders (STHs). This cohort includes the BTC 
investors who purchased their coins within the past 155 days. Now, here is a 
chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin STH Realized Price over the last few 
years: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin spot price broke under the 
STH Realized Price during the price drawdown of Q4 2025. Since then, the 
cryptocurrency has remained trapped below the line. As BTC&#8217;s drawdown has 
played out, the STH cost basis itself has also gone down. The reason behind 
this naturally lies in the fact that coins have been getting involved in 
trading at the lower post-crash prices, thus decreasing the average 
acquisition mark of the new investors. Today, the STH Realized Price is 
sitting at $80,700. Following BTC&#8217;s latest price rally, the cryptocurrency 
isn&#8217;t too far from hitting this level, implying that if the bullish winds 
continue, a retest of it could end up taking place. In the past, the indicator 
has often held relevance for Bitcoin as a support or resistance level. The 
reason behind this lies in the fact that the STHs represent the low-conviction 
side of the market, who tend to easily show reaction to price movements; a 
retest of their cost basis is naturally an event that causes members of the 
cohort to make some moves on the network. From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that 
the price rally back in January topped out near the STH Realized Price. This 
suggests that the cohort looked at the recovery surge as an opportunity to 
exit at their break-even mark. Related Reading: Bitcoin Fear Fading? Sentiment
