The "spent output profit ratio" (SOPR), a blockchain data metric that measures the net profit/loss position of outstanding bitcoin (BTC), had approached levels that typically precede price rallies, according to Glassnode, a cryptocurrency analytics firm.
The SOPR dipped below a reading of 1 last week, precisely the level that typically leads to a reversal of a market drawdown, according to Glassnode.
SOPR is used to predict trend reversals by measuring the realized value of the price of BTC sold versus the original purchase price in dollars.
"It would be irrational to sell at a loss when gains are imminent," according to Glassnode.
Bitcoin's price fell Sunday to a seven-week low around $47,100 but has since jumped to around $54,200, up 8.9% over the past 24 hours, based on CoinDesk data.
Will Clemente of Bitcoin Magazine Research, in an April 23 analysis published in the newsletter Pomp Letter, wrote it's "relatively rare to see the aggregate of market participants to take losses in a bull market except during significant corrections.”
“Currently, SOPR is approaching the full reset mark, meaning price has either reached, or is very close to reaching, the bottom of the current correction. Any dips below 1 have historically been great buy opportunities.”Bitcoin Magazine Research's Will Clemente

Sharp recovery in SOPR. This means market participants are no longer selling at a loss in aggregate.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch
When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
What to know:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
