Bullish Signals: Bitcoin’s Market Indicator Suggests Upward Momentum
Recent analysis from IntoTheBlock suggests that Bitcoin might be transitioning into a bullish market phase based on a crucial indicator - the market-value-to-realized-value (MVRV) ratio.
As per their recent blog post, the MVRV ratio is displaying similarities to previous shifts from bear to bull markets. When the MVRV ratio drops below 100%, it signifies that Bitcoin is trading below the average purchase price of its holders.
Typically, bear markets have historically hit bottom when the MVRV drops to around 70% to 80%, signifying an opportunity for buyers. Moreover, whenever the MVRV has surged back above 100% following a dip, it has signaled the commencement of a bull market.
This metric suggests that Bitcoin’s bull market allegedly began at the start of this year, and there might be further potential for growth if it reaches MVRV levels surpassing 300%, which were observed towards the conclusion of past bull markets. On-chain indicators collectively imply that Bitcoin is currently in the early stages of a bull market.
The MVRV is a ratio that measures an asset’s market cap against its realized capitalization. It aims to identify market highs and lows by considering the value of all Bitcoin at the prices they were originally purchased for, rather than their current market value.

However, IntoTheBlock advises caution, stating that the current MVRV patterns might not necessarily follow previous Bitcoin market behaviors.
“While historical patterns don’t guarantee future Bitcoin performance, the convergence of positive supply and demand factors raises the possibility of another market cycle for Bitcoin.”
