- The STH-SOPR and another indicator revealed that Bitcoin’s reprieve is coming.
- The spike in the Stock-to-Flow ratio supported the potential price increase.
History may not repeat itself in the crypto market, but patterns often rhyme. This is why the price of Bitcoin [BTC] could be setting itself up for a significant turnaround after the correction.
The STH-SOPR is one of the reasons for this prediction. STH stands for Short Term Holder. SOPR is an acronym for Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR).
Combined, the statistic shows whether Bitcoin holders who bought the coin within a 155-day period are selling at a loss or a profit.
Change is closer than you think
If the value is less than 1, it indicates that the holders are selling at a loss. However, values above 1 indicate that they are selling at a loss.
At the time of writing, AMBCrypto found, via data from CryptoQuant, that the value was exactly 0.99. This reading makes it a crucial point for BTC as it could go either way.
Previously, the value below 1 marked the end of a downtrend. Therefore, if the STH-SOPR remains below the threshold for some time, Bitcoin’s price could prepare to recoup some of its recent losses.

However, that doesn’t mean Bitcoin’s prediction of $61,000 or $60,000 wouldn’t come true. But it means the coin’s value may not drop to the low $54,000s before a reversal to the upside begins.
Another indicator fueling the forecast is IntoTheBlock’s Bulls And Bears.
This metric compares the addresses that bought more than 1% of the 24-hour trading volume, and the addresses that sold more than 1% within the same period.
Bulls ready for low inflation
If the addresses that have been purchased compensated the addresses that have been sold, then it is a bullish sign. However, if more addresses are sold, the outlook is bearish.
At the time of writing, the Bulls And Bears indicator was +2 in favor of bulls. While this may not have an immediate effect on BTC, maintaining the position in the coming days to weeks could help end the Bitcoin correction.

Should this be the case, Bitcoin’s price could begin a move that will take the price back to $66,000. Last on the list of metrics that support a price increase in the Stock-to-Flow ratio pointed to 640 on June 23.
The Stock-to-Flow ratio measures an asset’s vulnerability to inflation and its scarcity. If the value is low, it means there is high inflation. As such, it may be difficult for the price to rise in the medium to long term.

However, the high value suggests that Bitcoin has a low inflation rate. It also means that the value can maintain a high level of price appreciation over time.

Given the state of the data mentioned, BTC could recover within a short time. However, the prediction could be debunked if major BTC investors continue to sell off some of their holdings.
