Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross is Nearing Overheated Area Right Now
CryptoQuant Quicktake by an Analyst postCurrently, NVT Golden Cross holds a great value. The “NVT Ratio”This on-chain tool keeps track of the relationship between Bitcoin Market Cap and Transaction Volume.
The market cap here is simply the total value of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply at the current spot price, while the transaction volume is a measure of the total amount of the asset that’s becoming involved in transfer activities on the network.
When the value of the NVT Ratio is high, it means BTC’s value (that is, the market cap) is high compared to its ability to transact coins (the transaction volume). This can indicate that the coin has become overvalued.
On the other hand, the metric being low suggests the cryptocurrency’s price could be due a rebound to the upside, as the market cap isn’t overheated compared to the volume.

As the coin’s price has gone through a retrace in the past week, the metric has also cooled off. The value of the metric remains high despite its decline. The quant notes:
