Bitcoin MVRV Ratio Reaches a Significant Level
Bitcoin’s underwhelming performance has tested the patience of bulls. In a period where prices have been stuck in the range of $25,000 to $31,000 for nearly 50 days, there hasn’t been much joy for participants profiting from the asset’s violent fluctuations.
However, their resilience might soon be rewarded. The MVRV Ratio, one of the most popular and powerful indicators used to determine peaks and troughs in Bitcoin’s price, has historically reached the significant level of 1.27, according to IntoTheBlock.
The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio is defined by dividing a asset’s market value by its realized value. Simply put, it’s a ratio of how much the current price of an asset differs from the average price at which each token was acquired.
If the ratio is below 1, it means most holders are at a loss and is interpreted as a buy signal. The higher the ratio goes, the more people are willing to sell as potential profits increase.
According to a CryptoQuant writer, the 1.2 level has acted as a critical support level. Whenever this level has been honored, BTC prices have moved sideways, and when breached, prices have moved further downwards.
Therefore, the current value of 1.27 appeared to be more of a 50:50 scenario. Bullish leveraged traders were aiming for a significant bounce from this level, while bearish leveraged traders were hoping for the opposite.
Whales are becoming active
While Bitcoin’s short-term movement has been tied to the above support line, whale investors have increased their interactions with exchanges.
According to CryptoQuant, the Exchange Whale Ratio has been rapidly rising since the beginning of the week and reached a value of 0.49 at the time of writing. This is notably the highest value seen since mid-May.
Positive market sentiment
According to Santiment, Bitcoin was trading at around $25,840 at the time of writing. Alongside increased whale activity, the overall market sentiment for BTC has been proven positive with positive values on the weighted sentiment indicator.
