On-chain data shows that investors on the Solana network participated in significant profit-taking ahead of the asset’s latest retrace.

Solana Realized Profit Registered A Sharp Spike Yesterday

According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, the Realized Profit observed a huge spike for Solana recently. The “Realized Profit” here refers to an indicator that, as its name suggests, keeps track of the total amount of profit that the investors are ‘realizing’ through their selling.

The metric works by going through the transfer history of each coin being sold on the blockchain to see what price it was transacted at prior to this. If this previous selling price for any coin was more than the current spot price, then that particular token’s sale is leading to profit realization.

This Bitcoin Range The Next Key Resistance, Analytics Firm Says

The Realized Profit takes the difference between the two prices to calculate the exact amount of profit involved in the transaction and sums it up for sales across the network.

In the context of the current topic, the usual Realized Profit isn’t the metric of interest, but rather a derivative form known as the Realized Profit by Age. This indicator basically tells us about how the SOL profit-taking is distributed among the various coin age bands.

An “age band” is a time-range within which coins part of the band were last moved. The 1-week to 1-month age band, for instance, refers to the part of the supply that was last involved in a transfer between one week and one month ago.

Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the Solana Realized Profit by Age over the last few months:

As is visible in the above graph, the aggregated Solana Realized Profit observed a huge spike on Monday following the recovery in the cryptocurrency’s price toward the $180 mark.

The sharp rally in the coin came after United States President Donald Trump announced a Crypto Strategic Reserve that is going to include five digital assets, one of which is SOL.

It would appear the investors were keen to cash in on this opportunity, as the SOL Realized Profit shot up to an hourly value of over $257 million, making the profit-taking event one of the largest in the last couple of months.

Interestingly, as the chart displays, 99% of the aggregated profit realization (around $255 million) came from the 1-day to 1-week age band alone. This would suggest that the profit-taking spree was almost entirely due to investors who bought during last week’s dip, capitalizing on their quick gains.

SOL Price

Solana has crashed following the profit-taking selloff as its price has returned back to $136.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
