This indicator measures the ratio of Bitcoin's market capitalization to the average purchasing cost of each address holding the asset.
In short; it provides insight into the profitability of the average investor. A higher ratio suggests that the current market value of the asset significantly exceeds the average purchase cost, indicating that most holders are in profit. Conversely, a lower ratio may suggest that many holders are at a loss.
Historically, high values between 3.5 and 5 have coincided with peaks in the markets. The current value is 2.56. This indicates that although BTC is approaching a heated territory, it's not yet at peak levels.
One important trend to observe is that the MVRV peak has declined in every major Bitcoin cycle. It is reasonable to expect this trend to continue, and key levels to watch would be in the 3 to 3.4 range.
