Realized HODL Ratio compares the realized cap weight of 1-week-old UTXOs to 1-2 year old UTXOs to identify market extremes.
How RHODL Ratio is calculated
Extremely high = short-term holder dominance (top signal); extremely low = long-term holder dominance (bottom).
How to read it
- On-chain metrics describe holder cost basis and profit structure; they move slowly and suit cycle context, not short-term timing.
- Compare the current reading with its historical percentile and cross-check it with at least one price-structure indicator.
Limitations and common misreads
- Historical thresholds come from a limited sample; future cycles can differ.
- Data providers can define the metric differently; cite the data date when quoting it.
- A single indicator is not investment advice and does not guarantee price direction.
