CryptoQuant, a cryptocurrency analysis platform, stated that Bitcoin is approaching a critical level on the MVRV Z-Score indicator, but the current situation does not yet confirm the start of a new bull market. According to their analysis, the MVRV Z-Score is nearing its 365-day moving average, which in past market cycles stood out as a crucial regime change level.
CryptoQuant added that historically, a sustained break above the 365-day moving average of the MVRV Z-Score signaled a transition from a recovery phase to an expansion phase for the market. It was noted that the breakout in 2015-2016 preceded the 2017 bull market, the movement in 2020 preceded the 2020-2021 rally, and the 2023 recovery coincided with the final period of expansion.
Bitcoin's MVRV Z-Score Remains Below Average.
However, the indicator still remains below the 365-day moving average. According to CryptoQuant, if Bitcoin breaks and sustains above this level, it could indicate a resumption of unrealized profit in the network and the beginning of a new growth period. Conversely, a rejection from this level might mean the overall market profitability is not yet high enough to support a broader bull rally.
The analysis also identified a key point differentiating the current market cycle from previous bottoms. In past major cycle bottoms, the MVRV Z-Score fell below zero, reaching a zone of low valuation. This did not occur in the recent correction. CryptoQuant noted that this could mean Bitcoin is experiencing a structurally shallower correction, or that capitulation on the scale observed in previous macro lows is not yet complete.
On the other hand, it was noted that the MVRV Z-Score has been forming lower peaks in each cycle. According to CryptoQuant, this trend indicates that even if Bitcoin's price continues to reach higher peaks, the valuation skews experienced by the market are becoming increasingly constrained over time.
According to CryptoQuant's risk assessment, for a bullish scenario, the MVRV Z-Score needs to recover and remain above the 365-day moving average. A rejection from this level would indicate the market is in a "recovery" regime, while the indicator returning to zero could reinforce the view that the current correction process is not yet complete.
