Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Face Record Losses Amid Market Decline
According to the latest "Bitfinex Alpha" report, short-term Bitcoin (BTC) holders are facing their highest level of unrealized losses since the bear market of 2022.
This situation has intensified concerns about a potential sell-off, putting additional downward pressure on prices.
The Short-Term Holder MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio, which measures the current market value of BTC against the price at which it was last moved on the blockchain, is currently below one. This suggests that if short-term holders were to sell now, they would incur losses, potentially leading to increased selling pressure in a declining market.
Bitcoin’s price has dropped 33% from its peak of around $73,700, marking the steepest decline in this cycle. The Mayer Multiple, which compares Bitcoin’s current price to its 200-day moving average, has fallen to 0.88. This is the lowest level since the FTX collapse in November 2022.
The Mayer Multiple is a key indicator for assessing Bitcoin price trends relative to its historical average. A low Mayer Multiple signals that Bitcoin is trading significantly below its typical historical value, offering insights into potential market buy or sell signals.
Currently, the Short-Term Holder Realized Price (STH Cost-Basis) is at $64,860, reflecting the average purchase price for those who have held their coins for 155 days or fewer. Bitcoin’s recent spot price has come close to one standard deviation below this level, a situation that has occurred only 7.1% of trading days.
This significant deviation underscores the severity of the recent market downturn and highlights the stress experienced by newer market participants. Assessing this sentiment is crucial for understanding current market dynamics.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": The Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates next week, but a single rate hike won't solve the problem
Nick Timiraos from "The New Federal Reserve News Agency" recently wrote that investors have largely concluded that the Federal Reserve will make its first interest rate hike in three years next week, but the harder question is what will happen afterward. Since almost no one inside the Fed believes that a single 25 basis point rate hike is enough to bring down inflation, a decision to raise rates next week would reflect the judgment that rates were previously set at the wrong level, and a single hike cannot solve the problem. Since the 1990s, the Fed has only had one "one-time" rate hike.
