A recent analyst study introduces an advanced approach to estimating the active realized price of Bitcoin, offering a more accurate estimate of the cost base of active market participants.
This metric focuses on the realized price of Bitcoin but adjusts for lost and long inactive coins, providing a clearer view of market valuation cycles.
The active realized price tracks coins that have recently moved, excluding inactive supply, and serves as a key level of support or resistance over the past five years.
Key observations include overpricing during market peaks, such as in 2021 when Bitcoin rose above this price, and underpricing during corrections, especially in 2022 when BTC’s value approached the active realized price.
In 2023-2024, the price of Bitcoin bounced off this metric twice, reflecting cautious optimism and stability similar to the early stages of the 2021 bull run.

When you adjust for lost / long-dormant supply, the output model is far better for ‘mean reversion’, and is support mid-cycle (up & down). pic.twitter.com/OxI1AqXxsj

The active MVRV ratio, which compares market value to realized value adjusted for active supply, has proven useful in identifying market tops and bottoms. Historically, high MVRV values indicate overvaluation, while lower values highlight accumulation phases.
This advanced metric offers a nuanced view of Bitcoin market cycles and investor sentiment, signaling potential buy or sell opportunities based on historical patterns.
