Moving is not the same as selling. These figures count every coin that changed addresses, including coins someone shuffled between their own wallets and the change that comes back from a normal payment. A group is credited by the size it was at the moment its coins moved.
The daily figures are rolling sums over the past day, not a calendar day, so they update through the day rather than resetting at midnight.
A profit is counted when a coin moves at a higher price than the one it last moved at, a loss when it moves lower. The two are shown separately because a big day can lock in both at once.
What does this mean for you?
Heavy profit-taking after a run-up is normal; the question is who is doing it. When the biggest groups lock in profit while small holders keep buying, the profit-takers usually have the better record. Heavy losses across every group tend to appear near washed-out bottoms, when holders finally give up.
The profit share view puts both sides on one 0-to-100 scale. At 100% every dollar realized that day was profit; at 50% the day split evenly; below 50% more money was given up than locked in.
Understanding Bitcoin Realized Profit and Loss by Wallet Size
Every time a coin moves, it locks in a result: a profit if it moved at a higher price than the one it last moved at, a loss if lower. Add those results up per size group and you get this page, the dollars each of seven groups locked in or gave up over the past day, tracked across history.
The technical names are realized profit and realized loss. They are shown separately rather than as one net line because a big day usually produces both at once, and who is on each side matters. A group is credited by the size it was at the moment its coins moved.
Moving is not the same as selling. These figures count every coin that changed addresses, including coins shuffled between one owner's wallets and the change returned from ordinary payments. That makes the totals honest ceilings, not exact sales figures. The pattern still tells the story: heavy profit-taking by the biggest groups after a run-up, or losses across every group near a washed-out bottom, are the readings worth acting on.
