This metric tracks the relationship between the current market price of an asset and the average price of each coin or token purchased for that asset.
When it returns a value above one, it suggests that the market value of an asset is significantly higher than the price at which most investors acquired their holdings. When this happens, the asset is said to be overvalued.
On the other hand, a negative MVRV value indicates that the asset in question is undervalued. It suggests that its market value is lower than the average purchase price of all tokens in circulation.
Martinez reviewed the historical pattern of BTC’s MVRV ratio (30d) and found that the last three times the value fell below -9%, the coin’s price rose by 64%, 63%, and 99% respectively.
According to Martinez, a double-digit rally could be in store for the leading coin as the MVRV ratio is now below the critical limit of -9%.
