Top of the market or a bullish respite?
Bitcoin’s volatile price action over the past month has led many to speculate whether the top is at BTC or whether the current correction is just a mid-cycle respite that will prepare the asset for continuation once trading resumes. rally.
More in-depth information on the matter was provided in a recent Delphi Digital report that discussed the MVRV ratio, an on-chain metric that measures the market value (MV) of Bitcoin against its realized value (RV) as an indicator that can help Traders determine market peaks and bottoms.

The chart above shows that the MVRV index overextended in early 2011, late 2013, and early 2018, “all of which represented cycle peaks,” as Delphi Digital highlights. The researchers also suggested that “the May 2021 reading could very well indicate the peak of this cycle.”
While the peak may be in the current cycle, Delphi Digital also noted that there is a possibility that the market “will see a result that resembles the ‘double bubble’ of 2013, where BTC achieved an ATH [máximo histórico] , the price fell sharply and then rallied well beyond the ATH in the same year. “
The report further highlighted the fact that the threshold for determining Bitcoin’s bottom has increased over time, which could change the outlook for bull markets in the coming years.
According to Delphi Digital:
Given the steep decline in MVRV so far, it is possible that BTC could see a lesser drawdown and a quicker bottom than in previous cycles. This would look something like global stocks, which have multi-month corrections and multi-year bull cycles. “
As a note of caution, the report noted that while “there is a lot of conflicting data and opinions” in the market today, there is likely to be “a mean reversion episode in the coming weeks as the price deviated a lot from its 50-day moving average. ”

“Historically, the price of BTC has been pretty close to its 50-day MA. And looking at the drawdowns above, BTC has always featured a healthy relief rally after a deep pullback. This is the result of the natural reflexivity of the market. “
