Post-Date Cohort Average Cost

Overview

Post-Date Cohort Average Cost tracks the weighted average acquisition price for addresses that first interacted with a token after a user-specified date. This metric enables analysis of newer adopter behavior and cost basis for specific recent segments of the token community.

Definition

This indicator calculates the weighted average acquisition price of tokens held by addresses that conducted their first token transaction after a user-defined start date, based on the market price at the time each token was transferred to these holders.

Significance

  • New Adopter Analysis: Isolates newer market participants based on entry timeframe
  • Post-Event Sentiment: Monitors the investment patterns of holders who joined after key milestones
  • Recent Support Assessment: Identifies price levels significant to newer holders
  • Adoption Wave Tracking: Reveals how different waves of adoption are positioned

Calculation Method

The indicator processes: 1. All addresses that first transacted with the token after the specified date 2. Current token holdings of these addresses 3. Acquisition prices weighted by token quantity

Interpretation

  • Recent Holder Profitability: Shows if newer adopters are in profit or loss
  • Entry Price Trends: Reveals whether newer holders are entering at higher or lower prices
  • Post-Event Impact: Analyzes holder behavior following specific events (listings, updates)
  • Market Momentum: Indicates whether fresh capital is entering at increasing or decreasing prices

Analysis Applications

  • Phase-Specific Analysis: Study behavior of holders who joined after specific project phases
  • Catalyst Impact Assessment: Evaluate entry patterns following major announcements
  • New vs. Established Holder Comparison: Contrast with pre-date cohorts to identify different investor behaviors
  • Recent Support Level Identification: Find price levels where newer holders may provide support

Considerations

  • Selection of appropriate start date is critical for meaningful analysis
  • Different entry periods may show distinct holder behavior patterns
  • Exchange wallets active after the start date represent many users but appear as single entities
  • Very recent cohorts may have limited data for robust analysis

Parameters

  • Start Date: User-defined date parameter - only addresses with first transactions after this date are included
  • Standard base parameters for time range and resolution settings
