Bitcoin<\/a>\u2019s NVT ratio, or its network value to transactions ratio, can be used to signal tops and bottoms in the crypto asset with surprising accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n Although the tool\u2019s creator hasn\u2019t been giving it much credence in the past, it has repeatedly signaled the top over the last two years of price action. Now, the signal is acting up once again, suggesting that Bitcoin has topped out and a deep, November 2018-style drop could be coming in the days ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n Bitcoin<\/a> is a first of its kind financial asset, and therefore, unusual and unorthodox methods are used to perform fundamental analysis about the overall health of the asset and its underlying network.<\/span><\/p>\n Among the ways the Bitcoin protocol\u2019s value is measured, is by comparing the asset\u2019s current price in correlation with the overall value being transacted across the network, creating what is referred to as the NVT ratio, or network value to transactions ratio.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin NVT Ratio: Top Predicting Signal Hits Highest Peak, Is a 50% Drop Ahead?\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The higher this number, the more overvalued it suggests Bitcoin<\/a>\u00a0price is compared to the current value being transacted across the network.<\/span><\/p>\n Each time this number reaches a high, it typically signals that a top is in or near, and a deep drop isn\u2019t far behind.<\/span><\/p>\n At the height of the crypto hype bubble, NVT began signaling that the crypto asset was significantly overvalued, and the bear market followed. <\/span><\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t until July 2018 \u2013 a time period exhibiting price action eerily similar to the current market \u2013 that the signal suggested another top was in.<\/span><\/p>\n In the few months following, the indicator stayed overheated, suggesting a deeper drop was ahead. In November 2018, the unthinkable happened and support at $6,000 crumbled and Bitcoin<\/a> fell to its current bear market low of $3,100.<\/span><\/p>\n After the crypto asset bottomed, it went on yet another parabolic rally, forming and echo bubble<\/a> of its previous bull cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n And just like the previous bull cycle, as the rally began to peak, NVT began signaling a top was in once again<\/a>, and the result has been a six-month-long downtrend.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s only now once again that Bitcoin is looking bullish, after an inverse head and shoulders confirmed \u2013 much as it did in July 2018 \u2013 that the NVT is signaling that a top is in or near<\/a>, and a drop may follow.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Across the crypto market, analysts have been calling attention to the many similarities between now and the July 2018 price action<\/a>. After Bitcoin broke through downtrend resistance, it topped out at $8,500, before falling back to support and grinding against it until it finally broke down.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | Bulls Beware: Last Bitcoin Downtrend Breakout Led To Bear Market Lows\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nBitcoin NVT Signals Top Is In, November 2018 Style Drop Could Follow<\/h2>\n
