What Is the Sell-Side Risk Ratio?
Bitcoin’s sell-side risk ratio just dropped below 0.1%.The ratio shows how much risk sellers take if they sell at current prices. When the risk is low, sellers feel safer and may sell more. When it’s high, sellers tend to wait, hoping for better prices or avoiding losses.
This data from Glassnode,was shared by Ali Martinez on X platform tracks Bitcoin’s price and sell-side risk from late 2023 to September 2025. The ratio compares potential losses sellers face to the profits they have already made. This gives a picture of market mood and how much selling pressure exists.
How Price and Sell-Side Risk Move Together
Bitcoin’s price has ranged between $20,000 and about $123,000 over the last two years, and when prices rose the sell-side risk ratio also spiked. This means sellers faced bigger risks during rallies and were more likely to sell.
When prices dropped or stayed steady, the sell-side risk ratio fell. This shows sellers were less worried and selling pressure eased.
Two important price levels stand out. One is just below $30,000, where the risk ratio has tested multiple times but didn’t stay low. This means sellers see high risk below $30K and avoid selling there. The other is around $200,000, a long-term bullish target.
The recent dip in risk near $30,000 signals some caution in selling and possible stress around this support.
What This Means for Traders and Investors
The sell-side risk ratio is a handy tool for traders. When it drops low near key support levels like $30,000, it often signals a good buying chance. Sellers feel safe and may start to sell less. Buyers might quietly accumulate coins.
If the ratio jumps, it shows more selling pressure. This could lead to price drops or corrections.
Watching this ratio helps traders understand market feelings and decide when to buy or sell. Since the ratio moves with Bitcoin’s price, it gives clues about market cycles.
In short, a low sell-side risk ratio near strong support often points to a market bottom or an accumulation phase. This can guide investors looking for good entry points.
