Realized Price Breakdown

Definition

A Realized Price Breakdown occurs when an asset’s market price falls below its realized price, which represents the average cost basis at which all coins on the network were last moved. This event signifies that the average investor is holding the asset at a loss. Historically, a breakdown below the realized price has often marked periods of significant market stress and potential capitulation. It indicates that aggregate investor profitability has turned negative.
