Since the past week, the Bitcoin price has traded below the cost basis of one 
of its most reactive investor groups. Based on recent on-chain information, 
the world’s largest cryptocurrency might face further trouble if its price 
fails to reclaim this crucial level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Upper Trendline 
Resistance Is Holding Price Back, Can It Push It Below $60,000? Analyst 
Answers Bitcoin&#8217;s Drop Under $80,000 Drives Realized Losses Upwards In an X 
post on May 22, Axel Adler Jr. analyzes Bitcoin&#8217;s struggle to reclaim its 
Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price. The crypto analyst identifies this 
level at around $80,000 (specifically $80,217). For context, the STH Realized 
Price tracks the average acquisition price of newer BTC investors. When 
Bitcoin trades below this threshold, it often means that many of its short- 
term holders are holding unrealized losses, thereby increasing selling 
pressure. Notably, Axel Adler Jr. points out that these realized losses have 
risen across the Bitcoin market. The pundit reports that the Net realized 
profit is now roughly –$176 million, arising from the difference between $366 
million in realized losses and $190 million in realized profits among Bitcoin 
short-term traders. Adler notes that as long as Bitcoin remains below the STH 
cost basis, future market rebounds would be mere unconfirmed or temporary 
retracements. Simply put, these temporary price recoveries below the $80,217 
threshold might be relief rallies rather than actual signs of a broader trend 
reversal. Hence, before market participants can judge Bitcoin to be displaying 
bullish intent, the price has to break clearly above the former STH support 
that might now resist the expansion of Bitcoin’s price. This is because, as 
the price approaches the STH breakeven (realized) price, investors become more 
likely to exit their positions, thereby adding bearish pressure. Related

Closely Coinbase Records Highest Selling Pressure Since February In another X 
post, Maartunn reveals that Coinbase is seeing one of the strongest waves of 
bearish pressure since February. The relevant indicator here is the Coinbase 
Premium Gap, which primarily tracks buying and selling activity among US-based 
investors. According to the chart shared by Maartunn, the Coinbase Premium Gap 
has dropped deeply into negative territory, coinciding with Bitcoin’s latest 
price weakness. When the premium turns positive, it generally signals stronger 
buying activity on Coinbase. However, a negative reading typically reflects 
increased selling pressure or weakening demand from US investors. 
Interestingly, strong negative Coinbase premium readings, such as those 
currently seen, have often appeared during corrective phases or periods of 
short-term fear. However, these can also precede the establishment of local 
bottoms if selling exhaustion begins to emerge. As of this writing, Bitcoin 
stands at a $75,514 valuation, down 2.56% since the past day. Featured image
