Ethereum Sleepy Wallets – 6-Month Dormancy

What This Indicator Does
It measures how many Ethereum addresses have been completely inactive for at least 6 months (≥ 180 days) — using official Glassnode and CryptoQuant on-chain metrics.
This reveals deep conviction among long-term ETH holders

Core Concept: Direct 6-Month Dormancy
The indicator uses two precise on-chain signals:
Total Unique ETH Addresses
From GLASSNODE:ETH_ADDRESSES or CRYPTOQUANT:ETH_TOTAL_ADDRESSES
Counts every address ever used on Ethereum
Addresses Inactive ≥ 180 Days
From GLASSNODE:ETH_ADDRESSES_GREATER_THAN_180_DAYS
Counts every address that has not sent or received ETH in 6+ months
Sleepy ETH = Dormant ≥ 180 Days
Sleepy Ratio % = (Sleepy / Total) × 100
This is not an estimate — it’s direct, real dormancy.

Why 6-Month Dormancy Matters
Short-term activity (7-day) = noise from DeFi, NFTs, trading
180-day inactivity = true HODLing — coins untouched through entire market cycles
Historically:
Rising dormancy → supply drying up → bullish pressure
Falling dormancy → long-term holders selling → bearish warning

How It Works (Step-by-Step)
Fetches daily data from Glassnode (Pro+) or CryptoQuant (free)
Selects real data if available; otherwise uses robust fallback
Calculates raw sleepy wallets = addresses inactive ≥ 180 days
Smooths the signal with a 21-day simple moving average (SMA) to filter noise
Computes Sleepy Ratio % for instant conviction reading
Displays live info table with exact values on every bar

How to Use It
Signal
Interpretation
Suggested Action
Sleepy Ratio > 75% and rising
Extreme long-term HODLing
Strong accumulation — buy/hold
Smooth Sleepy trending up
Dormancy growing over 21 days
Bullish supply shock forming
Sleepy Ratio < 68% and falling
Long-term coins re-entering circulation
Caution — possible distribution
Smooth Sleepy dropping fast
HODLers breaking after 6+ months
Bearish warning — consider exits

Use on Daily (D) or Weekly (W) charts for clean, reliable signals.
