On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Network Value To Transactions (NVT) ratio has formed a bearish crossover, a sign that a decline may be imminent.<\/p>\n
The “NVT ratio<\/a>” is an indicator that measures the ratio between the Bitcoin market cap and transaction volume. In simple terms, what this metric tells us is whether the asset’s price (the market cap) is fairly valued compared to the network’s ability to transact coins (the transaction volume).<\/p>\n When the ratio has a value above 1, it means that the price may be overinflated right now, as the blockchain isn’t observing the shift of any significant amount of capital. The risk of a correction taking place generally goes up the higher the metric trends above this mark.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the indicator being below the threshold can imply that the market cap may be undervalued currently, and thus, a price surge may be due for the asset.<\/p>\n In the context of the current discussion, the NVT ratio itself isn’t of interest, but rather a modified form called the “NVT golden cross<\/a>” is. This metric compares the short-term moving average (MA) of the NVT ratio (10-day) to its long-term MA (30-day).<\/p>\n As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post<\/a>, this NVT golden cross may be forming a pattern currently that could lead to a correction in the asset’s price.<\/p>\n The below chart shows the trend in the Bitcoin NVT golden cross and the 30-day exponential moving average (EMA) of the same over the past year:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin NVT golden cross has been going down recently and has just crossed under its 30-day EMA. This line appears to have historically been significant for the asset, as the instances marked by the analyst shows.<\/p>\nThe two metrics seem to have crossed each other in recent days | Source: CryptoQuant<\/a><\/pre>\n
