> Seven-day realized profit fell to $7.3 billion on Sept. 24 from $9.1 billion on Aug. 26, while realized losses also declined.

Profit-taking was weaker during Bitcoin’s second rally peak, with Bitcoin (BTC) recording 19% less realized profit over the prior seven days than at the Aug. 26 peak.

Seven-day realized profit ending at the Sept. 24 peak totaled $7.3 billion, when Bitcoin reached about $84,100. That compared with $9.1 billion in realized profit during the seven days ending at the Aug. 26 peak, when the price was about $78,600.

Realized losses also declined between the two periods, falling from $2.6 billion to $1.5 billion. As of Sept. 28, Bitcoin’s seven-day net realized profit was $4.3 billion.

The short-term holder spent output profit ratio, or SOPR, has remained above 1 since Aug. 20. The measure indicates that Bitcoin moved by short-term holders was, on balance, transferred at a profit.

That profit margin narrowed from 2.8% at the Aug. 26 peak to 1.6% on Sept. 23 and 1% on Sept. 28. During Bitcoin’s pullback to about $76,500 on Sept. 17, short-term holder SOPR fell to 1.003, with the profit margin narrowing to 0.3% without dropping below 1.
