Realised Profit/Loss
What Is Realised Profit/Loss?
The total profit or loss actually realized by coins that moved on-chain. Calculated from the difference between the price at which coins were acquired and the price at which they were moved.
How to Interpret
Large spikes in realised profit — holders locking in gains — can create sell pressure at tops. Sustained realised losses indicate capitulation during bear markets.

MVRV Gradients
The rate of change of the MVRV ratio over time. Shows the acceleration or deceleration of unrealised profits/losses across the market.
Unrealised Profit/Loss
The total unrealised profit or loss of all Bitcoin held on-chain, calculated by comparing each UTXO's acquisition price to the current market price.
SOPR
Spent Output Profit Ratio — the ratio of the price at which coins were spent to the price at which they were acquired. Shows whether coins are being moved at a profit (>1) or loss (<1).
Realised Cap
The sum of all UTXOs valued at the price they were last transacted. Unlike market cap which values all coins at current price, Realised Cap weights each coin by its last on-chain moved price.
