The Realized Price UTXO Age Bands chart provides additional context for the recent breakout by showing the average acquisition prices of different groups of Bitcoin holders.

The most relevant development is that BTC's surge toward $79K has pushed spot price above the realized-price levels of the shorter-term 1-3 month and 3-6 month cohorts, which sit around $64K and $74K, respectively. This means these groups have broadly moved back into unrealized profit, reducing some of the pressure associated with underwater recent buyers.

At the same time, several older cohorts remain positioned considerably above the current market price. The 18-month to 2-year realized price is around $87K, while the 6-12 month and 12-18 month bands are much higher near $95K and $105K. These levels could become increasingly relevant if the recovery continues, as BTC would begin approaching the cost bases of holders who remain underwater.

Therefore, the on-chain structure has improved alongside the technical breakout, but the recovery is not yet complete. Holding above the roughly $74K cost basis of the 3-6 month cohort would be particularly constructive, while losing it could indicate that the latest surge has moved ahead of underlying holder support.
