Bitcoin's Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), a key on-chain metric, has broken out of an 11-month suppressed state, signaling a possible shift in the market cycle. This pattern resembles early 2023, which preceded a major Bitcoin rally. The short-term holder SOPR has bounced above 1.0 after dips below 0.95, aligning with price recoveries, while long-term holders remain neutral, indicating no panic selling. Additionally, Bitcoin ETF inflows are adding steady demand, tightening supply and supporting prices. However, a sustained price move above $80,000 is needed for stronger confirmation of a cycle reversal.
