Welcome to the latest edition of The Satsurday Weekly, your source for Bitcoin market movements, technology advances, and sentiment. Let’s dive into the significant events and numbers that have characterized the past week.
Miner Status Overview
- CEX Deposits: This week, Bitcoin’s Centralized Exchange (CEX) deposits saw a remarkable hike to 270k, suggesting a possible increase in selling pressure as investors transfer their holdings onto exchanges.
- Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio: A slight decrease from 2.02 to 1.99 in the MVRV ratio may indicate that Bitcoin is currently undervalued compared to its realized value, hinting at a potential buying opportunity for long-term investors.
- Puell Ratio: The drop in the Puell Ratio from 2.07 to 1.78 signifies a decrease in mining profitability, which could influence miner behavior and, subsequently, the Bitcoin network’s hash rate.
Market Insights
