Net Realized Profit/ Loss is a metric used to identify periods in time where there is a spike in the profit or loss realized by holders. It can help determine the direction of the asset’s price. Typically, strong spikes in this on-chain metric are correlated with local tops.

The chart below shows consistent spikes, equivalent with higher net realized profit in October. Continuation of a similar trend in November, would support a bullish outlook for PEPE.

The supply of an asset on exchanges helps determine selling pressure. An asset facing high selling pressure is likely prone to a decline in its price. PEPE’s supply on exchanges has declined between September and November, corresponding to a decrease in selling pressure and this is bullish for PEPE price.
