For context, an unspent transaction output (UTXO) refers to units of bitcoin that are not spent after a transaction. Each UTXO has a realized price, that is, the market price at the time of the UTXO transaction. In a UTXO realized price distribution chart, the bitcoin supply is broken down based on UXTO realized prices showing how much btc was purchased at different levels.
This data can be used to study market sentiment, distribution analysis, and support and resistance levels. More importantly, investor behavior can also be studied, as a high concentration of UTXO indicates levels where most investors purchased bitcoin, which can translate into a potential resistance or support level.
According to the URPD chart shared by Martinez, 504,619 btc were purchased at $66,254, indicating strong potential to serve as support for bitcoin amid its current downtrend. Furthermore, the next price realized with the highest amount of bitcoin (191,366) purchased is $61,101, which represents the next support level in case the leading cryptocurrency fails to recover the price of $66,254.
