This Bitcoin Indicator Just Cooled Off, Suggesting Further Rally Ahead
The Bitcoin Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has slipped into favorable territories amid the recovery push, hinting at a continuation of Bitcoin’s uptrend.
After setting a new all-time high above $73,000 earlier this month, Bitcoin appeared to lose momentum as investors took profits amid the uptrend. The price of BTC dropped as low as $60,700 in the past week, with the bears calling for much lower prices.
However, Bitcoin defied the odds, as it has for most of its history, having bounced back above $67,000 at the time of writing. This recovering bullish momentum, as well as a review of the Bitcoin Market Value to Realized Value ratio, suggests that the price of BTC could be heading higher.
Data provider IntoTheBlock recently shared this sentiment. For context, this indicator measures whether an asset is overvalued or undervalued compared to its realized price. The higher the MVRV ratio, the higher the chances that an asset is overvalued and could potentially hit its peak.
In Bitcoin’s case, the MVRV ratio surged to 2.75 on March 12 when Bitcoin set its current all-time high. The figure was imminently close to the 3 score, which historically shows that an asset has reached its peak.
However, the Bitcoin market witnessed a sell-off at the 2.75 score, which caused prices and the MVRV ratio to crash. Interestingly, Bitcoin’s MVRV ratio stands at 2.34, which leaves more room for the cryptocurrency’s price to rally further in the coming days.
Bitcoin’s MVRV ratio, which surged impressively earlier in the year, is now experiencing a slight downturn, settling at 2.34. Traditionally, an MVRV ratio above 3 has been a reliable marker for predicting price peaks.

Bitcoin On Track to Revisit All-time High Before Halving
After a strong recovery that began over the weekend, Bitcoin has started the new week on a strong footing, with a 6% gain in the past 24 hours. The latest uptrend puts an analyst’s prediction that the cryptocurrency will regain its all-time high before the halving back on track.
A combination of institutional buying from companies like MicroStrategy and the recently launched Bitcoin ETFs has helped push BTC to new highs. Many notable voices in the industry expect this trend to continue and project Bitcoin’s price to cross $100,000 before the end of the year.
