Prominent market analyst with the pseudonym RugaResearch has drawn attention to recent developments with Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) Spent Output Ratio (SOPR), indicating that these key participants are exiting their positions at a significant loss. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stalls At $66,000 As Market Quietly Prepares For A Downside Draw Bitcoin LTH SOPR: Quiet Market Divergence The SOPR compares the price at which coins were last moved (cost basis) to the price at which they are currently being spent. It is used to measure whether coins being spent are in profit or loss. When the SOPR drops below 1, it indicates investors are selling their holdings at a loss and vice versa. Since March 11, RugaResearch reports that Bitcoin LTH SOPR has dipped below the 0.80 mark on seven different occasions to date, suggesting the long-term holders have steadily produced capitulations over the last month. Some of these occasions include 0.639 on March 11, 0.723 on March 28, 0.681 on March 30, and recently 0.753 on April 3. This suggests that Bitcoin long-term holders are presently realizing losses equal to 25% of their cost basis. When compared with the short-term holders (STH) SOPR of 0.996, RugaResearch also highlights a developing market divergence drawing little to no attention from investors. These figures, combined with the SOPR Ratio of 0.757, suggest that short-term holders are barely making losses, while the diamond hands are deep underwater, a situation in total contrast to a typical market structure where LTH are expected to realize their assets at a profit. However, it’s worth noting that a substantial portion of this distribution is going to exchanges, which have now recorded a net positive period over the last month. According to the renowned market analyst, while an LTH SOPR significantly below 1 could indicate a severe lack of conviction, this on-chain development also served as a forerunner of major structural market shifts. RugaResearch explains that the implication of the frequency of negative SOPR is less about the current losses and their eventual results, which could be either deeper losses or the formation of a price floor.

However, daily trading volume is down by 30.57% and valued at $15.95 billion. This sharp decline in transaction activity suggests the recent minor gains are speculation-driven. According to additional data from CoinCodex, the market sentiment remains strongly bearish, with the Fear & Greed Index at 11, suggesting extreme fear among investors. Nevertheless, CoinoCodex analysts foresee a rebound to $72,284 in the next month in line with the range-bound movement observed since early February.

Bitcoin is showing signs of hesitation at the $66,000 level, with price action slipping into a tight, choppy range. Momentum on the upside continues to fade, and each attempt to push higher is met with weaker follow-through. Beneath the surface, liquidity remains stacked, suggesting the market may be quietly positioning for a move lower rather than gearing up for a breakout. BTC Stuck At $66,000 As Structure Remains Unchanged Providing a BTC update alongside the MMT heatmap, Columbus explained that the overall market structure remains largely unchanged, with price continuing to chop around the $66,000 region. Despite the sideways movement, a subtle shift is becoming evident; upside reactions are losing strength. Each push higher is not only weaker but also shorter in duration, a pattern that often precedes a larger expansion phase once the market has decided on a direction. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Rebounds, But Weak Momentum Caps Further Gains He further emphasized that the liquidity resting below current price levels remains untouched. The longer Bitcoin hovers just above these zones without decisively clearing them, the more likely it will be drawn downward to tap into that liquidity. Although the possibility of an upward move still exists, price action suggests buyers are stepping back, allowing the market to lose ground gradually. The lack of strong demand at this stage speaks volumes about the current sentiment. Should this pattern continue, the next move may not come as a sudden, aggressive drop but rather as a slow and steady drift lower. In that scenario, Bitcoin could gradually slide into deeper liquidity pockets, paving the way for a more sustained downside move. Sideways Action Signals Brewing Volatility According to Cryptorphic, BTC price action over the past day has remained largely sideways, suggesting a consolidation phase as the market quietly builds toward its next directional move. Rather than showing clear momentum, the price continues to hover within a tight range, reflecting indecision among market participants. Related Reading: The Last Time Bitcoin Sentiment Was This Bad Was 2022, But There Was A Silver Lining He noted that Bitcoin is still holding the lower support of its current structure, but signs of weakness are beginning to emerge. The repeated tests at this level without a strong bounce raise concerns that support may be weakening, leaving the market vulnerable to a shift in direction. A breakdown from this zone could trigger a sharp move to the downside, especially if liquidity below begins to get targeted. Such a move would likely trigger momentum, as the lack of strong buying interest at support could accelerate the decline. Given the importance of this level, close attention is needed. How price reacts here will be critical in determining the next move, whether it leads to a temporary hold or confirms a deeper breakdown. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
New reports reveal that XRP’s supply on Coinbase has crashed to historical lows as investors and community members appear to be boycotting the exchange following the recent delay in the CLARITY Act. On the one hand, the recent movement shows joint unity among XRP holders as they collectively exit exchanges in protest. On the other hand, analysts suggest that the surge in withdrawals could trigger a supply crunch for XRP, potentially impacting its price. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Gaining Ground, Could Soon Surpass Gold—Analyst XRP Supply Falls To Historic Lows On Coinbase XRP advocate Diana has taken to X to explain the recent collapse in Coinbase’s XRP reserves. She reported that, as of late March 2026, the exchange’s balance had fallen to about 101.86 million XRP following a wave of withdrawals by holders. Some estimates suggest that Coinbase’s supply has dropped by nearly 90% in just a few months, marking a record low. The recent boycott stems from widespread frustration over Coinbase’s pushback against the CLARITY Act. The company has expressed “significant concerns” with the latest Senate compromise, particularly the wording that would ban passive yield on stablecoins. Notably, in 2025, Coinbase and partner Circle generated roughly $2.75 billion in gross interest income from USDC reserves. Of this, Coinbase is estimated to have received about $1.35 billion, nearly 19% of its total revenue. Given the scale of these profits, many in the XRP community believe that Coinbase’s opposition to the revised bill is not to protect crypto users but to prevent restrictions on one of its major revenue streams. In addition, leaked claims that the exchange had requested that Ripple pay millions of dollars to list XRP in 2019 have also fueled anger within the community. Consequently, Diana reported that recent 30-day snapshots show net outflows on Coinbase ranging from 21 million to 95 million XRP, indicating that holders are moving coins to self-custody or other exchanges. If this trend continues, Coinbase could soon become the exchange with one of the lowest XRP reserves in years. Recent actions by XRP holders also highlight the community’s unity and willingness to push back against perceived unfairness. Amid these developments, Diana has warned that the declining reserves could spark a potential supply crunch if market demand returns. Why A Supply Crunch Could Be Good For XRP Price A reduced XRP balance on a major exchange like Coinbase can create a possible supply shock. When fewer tokens are available for trading and buying interest rises, prices can also increase. Related Reading: Standard Chartered Sees Bitcoin Exploding To $500K By 2030 Typically, a tight supply combined with active demand can induce scarcity, which is historically known to trigger an upward momentum. For XRP, the recent outflow trend could position it for potential gains if buying pressure returns. Although the decline in Coinbase may seem negative initially, it could benefit holders in the long run. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
