On-Chain Undervaluation Signal History (MVRV < 1)

How Does the MVRV Signal Work?

An on-chain undervaluation signal occurs when the Market Cap drops below the Realized Cap, corresponding to MVRV < 1 (Market Value to Realized Value ratio below 1).

What Does This Mean?

The Market Cap is the total current value of Bitcoin (current price Γ— circulating supply). The Realized Cap is a useful on-chain proxy for the collective "cost basis" of Bitcoin holders, calculated from the price at which coins were last moved on-chain. However, it has limitations: lost coins, very old coins, and internal transfers can slightly distort the interpretation.

Why Does It Matter?

When the Market Cap falls below the Realized Cap (MVRV < 1), most Bitcoin holders are in unrealized losses. This historically rare condition suggests Bitcoin may be undervalued compared to what investors paid, and has been historically associated with favorable long-term forward returnsβ€”though past performance does not guarantee future results.

How Rare Is It?

Historically, this crossover has occurred during a small fraction of Bitcoin's history, typically during major market capitulations or bottoms. However, historical rarity does not guarantee future frequency.
