This metric tracks the average acquisition cost of circulating supply, excluding coins held for more than seven years. A move above it places a large share of investors above the break-even level. Crypto analyst Darkfost noted that a weekly close above the adjusted realized price on April 19 signaled stronger long-term investor conviction in Bitcoin. The analyst added, “A truly bullish signal would be for Bitcoin to start building a standard deviation above this average cost basis, pushing more investors into profit and encouraging them to hold due to increased conviction.” US spot ETF positioning adds an institutional cost basis level. The weighted average cost basis of US spot Bitcoin ETFs sits near $76,700, placing the price close to a key area of recent institutional accumulation. The short-term holder's cost basis is near $81,800, a level at which investors could build more conviction if the price holds above it. Bitcoin cost basis for STH, US ETF, and LTH.

This clustering increases price sensitivity to flows near this level, making it a key support zone.

Cumulative long liquidation risk nears $74,000, with roughly $2.69 billion at risk, while short liquidations near $80,000 total about $4.48 billion. Bitcoin exchange liquidation map.

Crypto analyst CW said the high-leverage longs have been reduced, while a larger pool of short liquidations sits above $80,000. The $74,000 to $80,000 band continues to anchor positioning, with both sides clustering around key cost-basis levels.
