Data shows that the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross indicator has recently fallen into undervalued territory, a sign that the price could be bullish.
Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross Enters Bullish Zone
An analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post explained that the NVT Golden Cross has recently signaled upside potential. Network Value to Transactions (NVT) is an indicator that tracks the ratio between Bitcoin market capitalization and transaction volume.
This indicator is often used to determine whether the current price is fair. A high value of NVT means that the value (market capitalization) of the cryptocurrency is high compared to the coin trading ability (trading volume). Therefore, in such situations, the spot price of the coin may be considered overvalued.
On the other hand, a low value-to-value ratio means that the current asset price may be undervalued because the market capitalization is not very high compared to the transfer volume.
In the context of the current discussion, NVT itself is not of interest, but rather its modified form, called the ‘NVT Golden Cross’. This indicator compares the short-term trend (10-day moving average) and long-term trend (30-day MA) of NVT.
Now here is a chart showing the trend of NVT Golden Cross over the past few years:

Historically, the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has had two main areas associated with the cryptocurrency price, as highlighted by the quants in the graph: An indicator value higher than 2.2 indicates that the asset is overvalued and is at least likely to form a regional high.
Likewise, anything below the -1.6 level could mean that the coin is undervalued and more likely to see some kind of reversal. A major low occurred in 2023 when the indicator fell inside this zone.
The chart shows that the value of the indicator has recently plummeted, plummeting inside the latter zone. At the peak of this negative spike, the NVT Golden Cross reached -2.5, meaning it fell below the -1.6 threshold.
As can be seen in the graph, the recent negative peak of the NVT Golden Cross is higher than that observed in August, but still below the level at the end of June.
If past patterns are anything to go by, the recent low NVT Golden Cross value could indicate that the bottom for the cryptocurrency is already close to the bottom.
