Formula

How to read it

STH-MVRV of 1.20 means market value is 20% above the estimated cost basis of the young cohort; 0.90 means it is 10% below. A value of 1 is the model's break-even reference, not a price forecast.

Limitations

  • MVRV is an aggregate ratio. It does not mean every holder has the same return, and fixed thresholds do not establish market tops or bottoms.
  • On-chain movements include transfers between an owner's own wallets. They do not establish actual purchases, sales or investor identity.
  • The latest day is provisional. Data is updated daily; hourly resolution does not mean hourly publication.
