TL;DR
- This article will introduce the on-chain indicator PSIP
- PSIP = Percentage of Supply in Profit, among circulating $BTC
- It can serve as a guide to market sentiment, with applications in recognizing market tops and bottoms
What is PSIP?
PSIP, short for Percent Supply in Profit, is defined as "the percentage of circulating $BTC that is in a state of profit."
Calculation method:
It distinguishes profit and loss chips by "comparing each $BTC's last transfer price with the current price."
When the current price is higher than a certain $BTC's last transfer price, this $BTC is considered a profit chip.
What if Most Chips Are in a Loss...?
An important application scenario of PSIP is market bottoms. When most chips are in a loss, it is usually a good time to buy the dip.
The logic is straightforward:
Under similar conditions, the more profitable holders, the greater the selling pressure from profit-taking in the market, and vice versa.
As shown in the chart below, historical points where $BTC had PSIP <50% are marked, indicating very precise opportunities to buy the dip
What if the Majority of Chips are in Profit?
As shown in the chart below, the percentage of chips in profit reaches a maximum value of 100%. Therefore, it is difficult to determine a top based solely on high PSIP.
Here is an interesting logic to share: “Observe the Correlation Change between PSIP and Price”
This idea is derived from the following analysis: The Market Pulse – Week 36, 2022
