Weight: 15%

What is MVRV Z-Score?

The MVRV Z-Score compares a cryptocurrency's market capitalization to its realized capitalization. It identifies periods when the asset is significantly over or undervalued relative to its fair value.

How Does It Work?

When the Z-Score is high (typically above 7), the market is overheated — historically a good time to sell. When low (below 0.1), the asset is undervalued — historically a good time to accumulate.

How We Use It

MVRV Z-Score is the highest-weighted component (15%) in our Value Score algorithm. It provides the strongest signal for long-term value assessment.

Z > 7

Overheated / Sell Signal

Z < 0.1

Undervalued / Buy Signal
