Brief Description: The ratio of Market Cap to Realized Cap.
MVRV_LTH evaluates the profit or loss status of investors and identifies overvaluation or undervaluation in the Bitcoin market.
Metric variants
- _lth: MVRV_LTH restricted to Long-Term Holders (age ≥ 155 days).
- _sth: MVRV_LTH restricted to Short-Term Holders (age < 155 days).
- _52k: instead of full bitcoin history, only the last 52 500 blocks are used to compute the standard deviation (approx. 1 year)
- _210k:instead of full bitcoin history, only the last 210 000 blocks are used to compute the standard deviation (approx. 4 year, one halving cycle)
Interpretation The MVRV_LTH ratio indicates whether the investors are in a state of profit or loss, influencing investment decisions. A MVRV_LTH value of 1 it indicates that the investors (on average) are in neutral position, i.e. not in profit or loss. A MVRV_LTH value above 1 indicates that investors are (on average) in profit, and high values suggests that price is overvalued.
Advanced Explanation By comparing these two values, MVRV_LTH illustrates whether Bitcoin's price is inflated above or deflated below its perceived "fair value" determined by the cost basis of holders.
MVRV_LTH is calculated by:
MVRV_LTH = MarketCap / RealizedCap
