SOPR Divergence

Definition

SOPR divergence occurs when the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), an on-chain metric indicating whether market participants are selling at a profit or loss, moves in a direction contrary to the asset’s price action. For example, if SOPR trends downwards while price increases, it suggests that profits are decreasing despite rising prices, potentially signaling market weakness. This divergence can serve as a warning sign for potential market reversals. It provides insight into investor sentiment.
