Overview

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin MVRV triple ribbon has once again formed a signal that has lead to an average of 30% decline during previous instances this year. Bitcoin MVRV Triple Ribbon Shows Bearish Signal Formation As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the latest trend in the BTC MVRV triple ribbon may suggest the crypto will observe another local drawdown soon. Before looking at what “MVRV” is, it’s best to first take a look at the two major types of capitalization methods for Bitcoin. The first cap, the usual market cap, is calculated by multiplying each coin in circulation with the current BTC price (or more simply, it’s just the total number of coins in circulation, multiplied by the price). Where the other capitalization model, the “realized cap” differs is that instead of all the coins being weighted against the latest value of the crypto, each coin is multiplied by the BTC price that was there at the time of the coin’s last movement. Now, MVRV is just the ratio between these two Bitcoin caps (market divided by realized). Historically, this metric has indicated when the value of BTC has been undervalued, and when it has been overvalued.
