Yo, picture this: a wild comic book con where you got two squads vibin' together. 🎉 The first group? Those chill peeps who swap comics based on the latest hype. The second? Hardcore collectors who’ve kept their stacks in mint condition for, like, eons. 🕰️
When these OG collectors, who normally aren’t into all the market drama, start flexing their boards in the “for sale” aisle, the real MVP buyers start to get suspicious. 👀
This move usually means valuations are just a bit too cray-cray SZN or the prices tanked so bad even the pros are rethinking their life choices. 🤔
The Long Term Holder MVRV (LTH-MVRV) is like the Bitcoin version of that vibe check.
By peeking into whether Bitcoin’s ride-or-die holders are swimming in cash or feeling the burn, it throws out early warning waves of market extremes that casual hodlers might totally miss. 🏄♂️
📖 What’s Good with Long Term Holder MVRV?
Long Term Holder MVRV (LTH-MVRV) is like a dope remix of the MVRV ratio, zoomin’ in on Bitcoin held by the ones who've been holding onto it longer than your grandma has her china – like more than 155 days. 📆
The formula goes like:
LTH-MVRV = Market Value of LTH Coins / Realized Value of LTH Coins
Where:
- Market Value: Price tag now × number of coins crashin’ long-term holders' wallets 🔥
- Realized Value: The mean street price long-term holders copped their coins at (when them coins last hopped around on-chain)
The super dope Long Term Holder MVRV breaks down the market vibe vs. the real keepsake value for those with long term diamond 💎 hands (holding >155 days). It tells ya how much gain or pain they’re sitting on.
- MVRV > 1.0 → Party time for long-term veterans, cuz they’re in the profits.
- MVRV < 1.0 → Oof, long-term holders feeling the shortage pangs (rarely happens though).
- Super high numbers → May broadcast market peaks since them hodlers got mad unrealized profits.
LTH-MVRV separates the profit/loss side of Bitcoin’s most patient stackers, the “diamond hands.”
By broadcasting when these holders are stacked with wins or L’s, LTH-MVRV helps figure out if we’re on the peak hype train (top vibes) or going through a sad boy szn (bottom signals), which hardcore traders love to scope out. 😎
