Right now

A typical blend of young and older coins is changing hands. The reading is a normal mix.

There is nothing unusual in who is spending.

Last four years

Smoothed over about a week the reading is 47.1 days, which sits at the 54th percentile of the last four years, around the middle of it.

Young coins movingOld coins moving

The coins moving are older than the average across the whole record. The chart draws the raw daily reading, 49.9 days on the latest day, which swings wider than the smoothed one.

What changed

The daily reading rose from 36.2 days to 49.9 days over the past month, since 28 Aug 2026. Over the past week the coins moving got younger, so fresher supply did the trading.

A rising line means older coins are on the move. A falling line means fresher coins are doing the trading.

What would change this read

If older coins start moving and this climbs, people who have held a long time would be spending, something that has often shown up near past tops. If it stays low, long-held supply keeps sitting still, which keeps those coins off the market.

A normal mix of ages carries no message on its own. The signal on this page lives at the two ends.

How to use it

Read this as a trend over weeks, not a single day. One large old-coin payment can lift a day’s reading on its own.

It says how old the coins moving are, not who moved them or why, and a coin moving between two wallets owned by the same person counts the same as a sale.

Understanding
ASOL (Average Spent Output Lifespan)

Where it stands today

Smoothed over about a week, the Bitcoin moving is 47.1 days old on average, which reads as a normal mix as of .

What does this chart measure?

ASOL, or Average Spent Output Lifespan, looks at every coin that moves on a given day, measures how long it had been sitting still, and averages those ages. A low number means the coins being spent are young. A high number means long-dormant coins are on the move.

What does a low reading mean?

Recent buyers are doing most of the trading and patient holders are keeping their coins put. That keeps long-held supply off the market, which is usually a calm backdrop where people are buying steadily rather than selling.

And a high one?

Coins that sat untouched for months or years are suddenly changing hands. That is people who have held a long time spending into strength, a pattern that has clustered around major tops as patient money takes its profit.

Why does the page show two different numbers?

The chart draws the raw reading for each day, which is the honest picture of a measure that jumps around. Where the page ranks today against the last four years it uses the reading smoothed over about a week, because a single busy day would otherwise decide the rank. The two can differ by a lot, so each one is labelled where it appears.

What can it leave out?

It is a noisy, day-to-day measure, and one large old-coin payment can spike it. It also cannot tell a sale from a holder moving coins between their own wallets. Read it as a trend over weeks, alongside the other holding and old-coin gauges. See the full age map of the supply.

What does the current reading show?

Average age, in days: the latest reading is 49.9 days, on . The highest reading since is 457.9 days on ; the lowest is 1.1 days on .

Daily readings since 1 Jan 2011 let you compare the latest day with earlier months. Every reading is the average age of the coins spent that day, in days, as measured, not smoothed. Highest and lowest cover every reading since then; month-end values use the last reading on or before that date. The latest daily reading is 49.9 days, which the page reads as a normal mix.
