On-chain data shows the Solana Realized Profit/Loss Ratio has dipped into the 
loss-taking zone recently, a sign that SOL liquidity has thinned. Solana 
Liquidity Back At Levels Associated With Bear Markets According to data from 
on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, Solana liquidity has recently contracted to 
levels that are typically witnessed in a bear market. There are many ways 
&#8220;liquidity&#8221; of a cryptocurrency can be assessed, but here, Glassnode has used 
the Realized Profit/Loss Ratio. Related Reading: Bitcoin In An Opportunity 
Zone? Hash Ribbons Flash New Buy Signal This indicator measures, as its name 
already implies, the ratio between the amount of profit and loss that the SOL 
investors as a whole are realizing through their transactions. The metric 
works by going through the transaction history of each coin being sold on the 
network to see what price it was last moved at. If the previous transaction 
price was less than the latest selling price for any token, then the indicator 
considers its sale to have realized a net gain. Similarly, the metric adds 
transactions to the loss-taking category in the opposite case. The exact 
amount of profit or loss realized in any transfer is naturally equal to the 
difference between the latest price and last selling value. The indicator adds 
up this value for both categories and determines the ratio. Now, here is the 
chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the 30-day moving 
average (MA) of the Solana Realized Profit/Loss over the last few years: As 
displayed in the above graph, the Solana Realized Profit/Loss witnessed a 
sharp spike during the price rally in September. This suggests that profit 
taking saw an explosion. The indicator maintained at high levels for a while, 
but following the price peak in October, its value went downhill fast. In 
November, the Realized Profit/Loss breached below the 1 mark as SOL plummeted. 
A value less than 1 on the metric implies loss realization is outpacing profit 
taking. Since this breakdown, the indicator has only gone lower inside the 
loss-taking region, a sign investor capitulation has only been becoming more 
dominant. Glassnode has noted that the trend signals &#8220;liquidity has contracted 
back to levels typically seen in deep bear markets.&#8221; During the 2022 bear 
market, Solana remained in these conditions for a few months before its price 
found a bottom. Related Reading: Bitcoin Speculation Muted: Glassnode Analyst 
Calls Perps A ‘Ghost Town’ It now remains to be seen whether the low liquidity 
will also persist for the cryptocurrency this time, or if the fall into the 
loss region is only a temporary one for the indicator. SOL Price Solana surged 
to $144 on Tuesday, but the coin has seen a fall back to $138. Featured image
