Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR)

Measures realized profit or loss when coins are moved on UTXO-based blockchains.

Overview
Compares the price at which coins were created to the price when they were spent.
Acts as a sentiment gauge reflecting whether investors are selling at profit or loss.

Interpretation

  • SOPR > 1 → Profit realization.

  • SOPR < 1 → Loss realization.

  • SOPR = 1 → Equilibrium.

Formula

S O P R = P r i c e s p e n t P r i c e r e c e i v e d SOPR = \frac{Price_{spent}}{Price_{received}}

Signal
When SOPR resets below 1 and rebounds, it often marks local bottoms.
