Bitcoin’s current market behavior suggests a continuation of its upward trend with investor profitability staying robust, according to a recent Glassnode report.
MVRV Momentum is an analytical tool used to evaluate the strength and direction of market trends by assessing the average unrealized profit of Bitcoin investors. It compares the current MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio to its 365-day moving average.
When the MVRV ratio exceeds its 365-day average, it often signals a strong upward trend, with investors typically seeing increased profitability and possibly expanding their positions during market pullbacks.
Conversely, if the MVRV ratio falls significantly below its 365-day average, it indicates a substantial amount of Bitcoin has entered unrealized loss, which can lead to investor caution and more conservative trading strategies.
In early July, the Bitcoin MVRV ratio dropped to and stabilized around its 365-day moving average, suggesting that the upward trend for 2024 remains valid and that investor profitability is still positive.
