<p><a href="http://cryptoslate.com/coins/bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> (BTC) has seen a noteworthy surge in October, marking a 28% increase and paving the way for it to be the second most lucrative month of the year, tailing behind January’s 40% ascension. One key metric that provides an insightful perspective is the ‘<a href="https://cryptoslate.com/insights/next-cycles-hypothetical-36k-bitcoin-bottom-exploring-historical-data-to-project-future-benchmarks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">realized price</a>‘, a concept that reveals the mean purchase price for all current Bitcoin owners, thereby countering the effects of volatility.</p>
<p>A closer examination of the yearly cohorts’ on-chain cost basis reveals that all groups, except those who began purchasing in 2021, are in a profitable position.</p>

<p>Anticipating that the 2021 investor cohort will continue with their dollar-cost averaging strategies, it’s noteworthy that their realized price level has declined from $50,000 to $35,000 over a span of two years. As such, any surge beyond the $35,000 threshold could potentially instigate a round of profit-taking. Therefore, this price level is expected to serve as a short-term resistance, tempering any immediate upward price movement.</p>
<p>In addition, we’ve consistently used the 2023 realized price level as a support, deviating below it just once this year during the SVB collapse in March. However, we promptly rebounded above that level shortly thereafter.</p>
<p>To break it down, the realized prices for the cohorts are as follows: 2017+ ($15,907), 2018+ ($19,352), 2019+ ($22,432), 2020+ ($26,649), 2021+ ($35,053), 2022 ($26,902), and 2023 ($26,790).</p>
