On-chain analysis

Studying the public Bitcoin ledger itself — every transaction, output and address — to measure what holders actually do (accumulate, spend, move coins to exchanges) instead of inferring it from price alone. All Kote Charts metrics are derived this way from our own full node.

UTXO (unspent transaction output)

The basic unit of Bitcoin ownership: a chunk of coins created by a transaction and not yet spent. Every on-chain cost-basis metric starts from the UTXO set — each output remembers the block (and therefore the price) at which it was created.

Crecimiento del conjunto UTXO · Número de UTXO por edad · Ratio de UTXO P/G

Realized price

Realized cap divided by circulating supply: the average price at which every coin last moved on-chain, i.e. the aggregate cost basis of all holders. Price below realized price means the average holder is under water.

Precio realizado · Precio realizado por edad · Precio realizado por edad

Realized capitalization

The sum of every UTXO valued at the price when it was last moved, rather than at today’s price. It measures the capital actually stored in Bitcoin and filters out coins that have not moved for years.

Capitalización realizada · Capitalización realizada por edad · Bitcoin: capital realizado — bandas de edad UTXO (%)

MVRV (market value to realized value)

Market cap divided by realized cap. Above 1 the average holder sits in profit; historically readings above ~3.5 marked cycle tops and below 1 marked bottoms.

MVRV · Bandas de desviación MVRV · MVRV de STH / LTH

MVRV Z-Score

The gap between market cap and realized cap, divided by the standard deviation of market cap. It normalizes MVRV into standard deviations so extremes are comparable across cycles.

MVRV Z-Score

SOPR (spent output profit ratio)

For every output spent on a given day, the price when spent divided by the price when created, volume-weighted. Above 1 coins move in profit, below 1 at a loss; 1.0 acts as support in bull markets and resistance in bear markets.

Adjusted SOPR (aSOPR)

SOPR with outputs younger than one hour removed, filtering out change outputs and internal shuffles that carry no economic signal.

NUPL (net unrealized profit/loss)

(Market cap − realized cap) ÷ market cap: the share of market value that is unrealized profit. Zones from capitulation (<0) through hope, optimism, belief and euphoria (>0.75) describe the sentiment of the whole holder base.

Short-term vs long-term holders (STH / LTH)

Coins younger than 155 days belong to short-term holders; older coins to long-term holders. The threshold marks where the probability of a coin being spent drops sharply, so the two cohorts behave like different market participants.

HODL waves

The circulating supply split into bands by the age of each coin (time since it last moved). Widening old bands mean accumulation and dormancy; swelling young bands mean old coins are being spent.

Coin days destroyed (CDD)

Each coin accumulates one “coin day” per day it stays unspent; spending it destroys them all. CDD weights spending by dormancy, so a large value means old, long-held coins moved — far more significant than the same volume of fresh coins.

Coin Days Destroyed · Binary CDD · CDD de entrada a exchanges

Dormancy

Coin days destroyed divided by the volume spent: the average age of the coins moved that day. Rising dormancy signals old hands distributing.

Latencia de direcciones · Edad media de las monedas

Exchange netflow

Coins flowing into exchange-labelled wallets minus coins flowing out, per day. Sustained inflows historically precede selling pressure; outflows point to withdrawal into self-custody.

Netflow de exchanges · Reserva de exchanges · Flujos top-10

Exchange reserve

The total balance held by labelled exchange entities, cumulated from genesis as classified inflows minus outflows for a fixed membership snapshot.

Reserva de exchanges · Reserva de exchanges (USD)

Exchange whale ratio

The share of exchange inflow contributed by the ten largest deposits of the day. High values mean whales dominate what reaches exchanges.

Ratio ballena de exchanges · Ballena → exchange

Entity clustering

Grouping addresses that are very likely controlled by the same owner (for example through common-input-ownership) and labelling clusters as exchanges, miners, funds or whales. All entity-level charts depend on these heuristic clusters and labels.

Puell Multiple

Daily miner revenue in USD divided by its 365-day average. Extremely low readings indicate miner stress typical of bottoms; very high readings accompany tops.

Miners’ Position Index (MPI)

Miner outflows in USD relative to their one-year average, expressed in standard deviations. Spikes show miners selling more than usual.

NVT ratio

Network value (market cap) divided by on-chain transaction value transferred — a price-to-“earnings” style valuation ratio for the Bitcoin network.

NVT ratio · NVT Golden Cross · NVM ratio

Stock-to-flow

Existing supply divided by annual new issuance, a scarcity measure that halves in step with each halving. The model-price derived from it is a reference, not a forecast.

Modelo Stock-to-Flow · Reversión S2F

Power-law model

A regression of Bitcoin’s price against time since genesis on log–log axes. The resulting corridor and rainbow bands describe long-run trend deviation, not targets.

Mayer Multiple

Price divided by its 200-day moving average. Above ~2.4 has historically been overheated; below 1 oversold.

Realized profit and loss

The USD profit (or loss) locked in by coins spent each day: the difference between their creation price and their spend price, summed over all spent outputs.

P&L realizado · P&L realizado relativo de LTH/STH hacia exchanges

Supply in profit

The share of circulating coins whose last on-chain move happened at a lower price than today’s. Near 100 % every holder is in profit — euphoria; below ~50 % capitulation.

Active addresses

Distinct addresses that sent or received coins during a period. A proxy for network participation, imperfect because one user controls many addresses and one exchange aggregates many users.

Direcciones activas · Direcciones nuevas

Issuance and halving

New coins minted per block as the block subsidy, halving every 210,000 blocks (~4 years). Issuance sets the inflation rate and the stock-to-flow ratio.

Emisión y oferta · Tasa de nueva oferta · Recompensa media por bloque

Transaction fees and fee per byte

What users pay miners to be included in a block. Fee per byte (sat/vB) reflects block-space demand; total fees versus subsidy shows how much miner revenue depends on usage.

Comisiones de transacción · Tasa de comisión · Ingresos de mineros

Velocity

On-chain transaction volume divided by supply: how often the average coin changes hands. Falling velocity means coins are being held rather than transacted.

Velocidad · Volumen on-chain

Stablecoin supply ratio (SSR)

Bitcoin market cap divided by the total stablecoin market cap. A low SSR means stablecoin “dry powder” is large relative to Bitcoin — potential buying power.

Spot ETF flows

Daily net creations and redemptions of US spot Bitcoin ETFs in USD and BTC, compared with new supply to show whether institutional demand outpaces issuance.

Whale

An entity holding a very large balance (commonly ≥1,000 BTC) or a transfer above a size band (≥100 / 1,000 / 10,000 BTC). Whale flows to and from exchanges are tracked separately because they move markets.

Wealth distribution

How the supply is split across address balance bands (shrimp to humpback). Concentration metrics show whether supply is dispersing to small holders or consolidating.

Realized index (Kote Charts)

Our internal pass over the full chain that tracks every UTXO with its creation price and age. It is rebuilt incrementally each day and powers every cost-basis, cohort and coin-age chart on the site.

Market cycle composite

Kote Charts’ audited composite of twelve directional on-chain metrics in four equally weighted families plus context layers, producing cycle zones that only change after fourteen daily closes.

Granularity (data interval)

The bucket size of a series: 5-minute (retained 30 days for selected metrics), day, 3-day, week, month or year. Coarser buckets sum flows and counts and keep the last state observation; all intervals are closed-only unless the open UTC day is explicitly requested.

Analytical watermark

The last block height through which every on-chain metric has been fully processed. Chart pages and the API expose it so readers know exactly how fresh the data is.
