Dang reviewed recently acquired BTCs (coins consisting of 24 hours to 1 month) and found that the realized capitalization of this age range was always affected by the coin’s price fluctuations.
In previous cycles, growth in the BTC market has been characterized by the consistent increase in realized capitalization within this group. According to Dang, this indicated a wave of new investors or increased capital inflows for accumulating new, unspent productions.
While the metric has recovered somewhat in the current market in recent months, it “has not crossed the <8% threshold.”

Furthermore, the analyst found a similar pattern of low recovery in realized capitalization in USD for this age range. He noticed:
“During the trough in late 2022, this group’s Realized Cap fell to ~$19.8 billion and recovered to ~$44 billion as BTC peaked at $30,000-31,000. However, it has since fallen back to ~$20 billion and is recovering slightly.”

The current positions of both measures showed that while the leading coin BTC is in a recovery phase, the recovery remains fragile and a number of factors, including macroeconomic and geopolitical issues, have continued to derail it.
This is clearly visible in the sideways movement of the coin in recent months and the significant recovery faced by the $30,000 price level.
According to Dang, this meant that the BTC market would likely remain uncertain for the rest of the year.
“The market is likely to remain uncertain if this data does not show significant and positive trends from now until the end of the year. Volatility will be unpredictable, so new entrants should not expect sustained and strong price increases like in the first half of this year.”
