Just took a look at the on-chain data and noticed something interesting—the Bitcoin SOPR indicator has dropped to 1.35, its lowest point this year.
What does this number mean? Basically, it indicates that most of the profit-taking has already happened, and now there are fewer and fewer people in the market willing to sell at a loss. Makes sense—those eager to cash out at every small uptick have already exited in the previous rounds of volatility.
Historically, every time the SOPR drops to this level, it often signals a local bottom. It doesn’t mean prices will skyrocket immediately, but after the selling pressure fades, prices tend to stabilize. Once a new catalyst comes in, there’s a higher chance of a market turnaround. More importantly, when BTC stabilizes, altcoins have room to perform, and overall market sentiment can start to recover.
Of course, even if I’m optimistic, I still have to be cautious in my approach. You know how crypto moves—what looks like a bottom today can see a sudden drop tomorrow.
My idea is to test the waters with a small position, like allocating 20% of my funds to mainstream coins to get a foothold. Don’t rush in with everything—wait for a confirmed breakout above key resistance levels before adding more. Managing risk is always more important than chasing gains.
In short, there might be opportunities brewing, but you need to have ammo ready and keep a clear mind. What do you all think about this data signal?

1. It's at 1.35 now, definitely starting to bottom out, just worried it might be a false alarm again.
2. I think so too, but there are too many tricks, better not mess around.
3. Testing the waters with a small position is fine, but I wouldn't go all in—it's too easy to get caught by a reversal.
4. Historical patterns are just for reference, there are no absolutes in crypto.
5. Wait for a breakout with volume, for now even arbitraging feels better than buying in.
6. Have all the profit-takers left? I still see plenty of short sell orders.
7. I agree with allocating to major coins, but better avoid altcoins for now.
8. Keeping a clear head is important, but being quick on the draw matters even more, otherwise you'll lose everything.
9. I'm not sure if this round is the real bottom, but I'm definitely not going all in.
10. Opportunity my ass, I think the drop isn't over yet.

1.35 really does feel like a strong bottom, but I still want to see if there’s a chance for an even lower dip...
2. Historical patterns are good, but I’m just afraid this time will be another special case—everyone knows how crypto market tricks work.
3. I agree with testing this strategy with 20% of your position. Don’t listen to those people who keep shouting about going all in—that’s gambler behavior.
4. The fading sell pressure doesn’t mean it’s time to rush in; it could be the calm before the storm, you know?
5. Seeing SOPR at 1.35 reminds me of last year’s move—ended up with several more wicks down, totally wrecked my mindset.
6. It’s right to only add after a breakout with strong volume; chasing pumps is always the fastest way to lose money.
7. Only play at these levels if you have enough ammo; if you really don’t have money, just stay on the sidelines.
8. Altcoins following is for sure, but I’m just worried BTC might turn around and crash alts all over again.
9. I’ve been looking at this indicator for a while, but it just feels like it needs a catalyst to really take off.
10. Keeping a clear head is more important than anything—don’t let FOMO cloud your judgment.

SOPR dropping to 1.35 is indeed interesting, but I'll still wait, no rush to jump in.
Wait, does this mean the bottom is already set? Feels like they say this every time...
Testing the waters with 20% position sounds reasonable, much safer than going all-in.
That wick move is really annoying, just afraid it'll crash right after I get in.
Whether it can really stabilize this time still depends on what happens next, anyway I'll keep watching.

SOPR reaching 1.35 is something, but don’t be fooled by the data—it might just be another trap.
It’s fine to dip your toes in with a small position, but the real worry is if there’s a big crash tomorrow and you get wiped out.
BTC needs to be stable for altcoins to run, and that logic still holds.
There are plenty of bottoming signals, but the key is whether the trading volume backs it up, right?
Enter with 20% of your position, keep the rest as ammo—smart people play it that way.
But hey, how much can you really trust historical patterns? Too many variables in crypto.
Opportunities are brewing, that’s for sure, but more people are waiting for the bottom—when the time comes, who’s really copying whom?
