The Network Value to Transaction (NVT) Ratio, calculated using the daily circulation, has trended higher since September too. The high NVT meant that the market cap of the asset was high compared to the tokens transacted – A sign that the asset may be likely overvalued.
The realized cap HODL waves (90-180 days) began to fall over the last three weeks too. This implied that coins held for 90-180 days were spent or moved – A signal of distribution. This could affect the chances of a rally on the charts.
