On-chain data shows the Bitcoin MVRV ratio is approaching a retest of the 1.5 level, breaking above which may be bullish for the asset’s price.<\/p>\n
As explained by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post<\/a>, the 1.5 level of the metric has held significant importance in the past. The “MVRV ratio<\/a>” is an indicator that measures the ratio between the market cap of Bitcoin and its realized cap.<\/p>\n The “realized cap<\/a>” here refers to a capitalization model for BTC that assumes that each coin in the circulating supply has its real value the same as the price at which it was last moved or transferred on the blockchain.<\/p>\n Since the MVRV ratio compares the market cap (that is, the normal price of BTC) with this fair-value model, the ratio’s value can provide hints about whether BTC is currently aptly valued or not.<\/p>\n When the value of the indicator is higher than one, it means the asset’s market cap is greater than its realized cap right now. Such a trend can imply the cryptocurrency may be overvalued currently.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the metric having values below this threshold suggest the fair value of BTC is above its current price, and hence, the coin may be undervalued at the moment.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin MVRV ratio over the last few years:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you can see in the above graph, the quant has highlighted the relevant portions of the trend for the Bitcoin MVRV ratio. The region below 1, as mentioned earlier, is the undervalued zone where bottoms have historically formed for the coin. Cyclical tops, however, haven’t generally formed in the zone above 1, but rather at much higher values like 3 or more.<\/p>\n Following the COVID crash back in 2020, the MVRV bounced out of the underpriced region and showed some constant upwards momentum, until it reached higher than 3.75, and the top of the bull run in the first half of 2021 was formed.<\/p>\nLooks like the value of the metric has observed a rapid rise recently | Source: CryptoQuant<\/a><\/pre>\n
