The on-chain analytics firm Santiment has revealed how Shiba Inu and XRP are among altcoins that are seeing a bullish divergence on the MVRV Z-Score.
MVRV Z-Score Says XRP And Shiba Inu Traders Are Seeing Losses Currently
In a new on X, Santiment has discussed how the various top coins in the cryptocurrency sector look on the MVRV Z-Score. The “Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio” is a popular indicator that, in short, measures the deviation between the total value held by the investors of an asset (that is, the market cap) and what they used to purchase it (the realized cap).
When the value of this indicator is positive, it means the holders of the given coin as a whole are currently holding net unrealized profits. On the other hand, the metric being below zero suggests the dominance of losses in the market.
Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the MVRV Z-Score for different top assets by market cap over the past few months:
As displayed in the above graph, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Toncoin (TON) are all currently in the positive territory of the MVRV Z-Score, suggesting that their average traders are currently enjoying profits.
At the same time, XRP (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Chainlink (LINK), Polygon (MATIC), and Uniswap (UNI) are witnessing their investors carrying a higher unrealized loss than profit.
Generally, the investors in profits are more likely to sell their coins, and the likelihood of this profit-taking only increases with more gains they hold. As such, a high MVRV Z-Score has historically led to tops for any cryptocurrency’s price.
Of the four assets in positive territory of the indicator right now, Toncoin has the indicator at the highest level, suggesting that a selloff due to profit-taking could be probable for it.
In the case of the coins inside the negative region, their prices could see a bullish outlook instead, as there may not be many sellers left for them now. Shiba Inu and Uniswap are particularly seeing the most deviation between the market and realized cap.
“If you believe markets are about to surge, history says that buying into assets that traders have experienced the most pain in have a greater probability of netting high returns for you,” notes Santiment. As such, coins like SHIB may be offering the best buying window right now, according to the MVRV Z-Score.
SHIB’s Price Analysis
Shiba Inu has consolidated sideways over the past month as its price still trades around the $0.0000168 mark.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.
In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.
Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.
Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..
Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.
Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.
As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.
Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.
Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
