What is MVRV and why does it matter for Bitcoin?
MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) divides Bitcoin's market cap by its realized cap, which approximates the average on-chain cost basis. A ratio near 1 indicates that the market price is at breakeven for most holders, a level that has historically coincided with seller exhaustion and price floors.
Should investors accumulate Bitcoin when MVRV is near 1?
Historically, buying when MVRV dips to or below 1 has resulted in strong returns over the following 12-24 months. However, it is not a timing tool for short-term trades; investors should consider their risk tolerance and the broader macro environment.
How long does Bitcoin typically stay below MVRV of 1?
In past cycles, Bitcoin has spent relatively little time below MVRV of 1—often just weeks or a few months—before recovering, making the undervalued window historically rare.
