Spending behaviour

LTH-SOPR (long-term holders)

The same SOPR, restricted to coins that had gone over ~155 days without moving.

Why it matters

Long-term holders realizing losses (below 1) is rare and has clustered near deep capitulations; unusually high realized profit clusters near euphoric tops.

Build it yourself

Same as SOPR, but thinking only about veteran coins (over 155 days old). This group selling at a loss is the part worth noticing.

LTH-SOPR = LTH spend value ÷ LTH creation value

Illustrative example numbers for practice — not real data.

How it's calculated, step by step

  1. Same mechanism as SOPR: for every spent input, spend value (today's price) and creation value (the price on the day the output was created).
  2. It keeps only coins spent past 155 days of age — the same cutoff STH-SOPR uses, from the opposite side.
  3. LTH-SOPR = that subset's accumulated spend value ÷ accumulated creation value.
Coincident signal. Since this group rarely sells at a loss, when it does it's a more extreme signal (though still coincident, not predictive) than overall SOPR.
