According to BlockBeats, on-chain data analyst Murphy has highlighted a notable gap in Bitcoin's chip structure, with the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) currently showing a gap between $111,000 and $115,000. Such gaps in chip structure are rare historically and often precede strong market trends.
For instance, on December 24, 2020, Bitcoin rapidly surged to $24,000, creating a gap between $19,000 and $22,000, eventually reaching a peak of $64,000. Similarly, on November 14, 2024, Bitcoin quickly rose to $87,000, forming a gap between $73,000 and $85,000, later climbing to a high of $106,000.
While traders should not assume that this current gap will necessarily lead to a strong trend, the inertia of market sentiment cannot be ignored. Once ignited, such sentiment tends not to stop abruptly. A key difference in the current scenario is that altcoins have not experienced widespread gains, with Bitcoin leading the charge, adding uncertainty to the sustainability of market sentiment.
Historically, all gaps in URPD have eventually been filled, though the timing remains uncertain. This analysis is shared for educational purposes and should not be considered investment advice.
