TLDR
- This article will continue the concept of MVRV from the previous part, introducing LTH-MVRV
- LTH = Long Term Holder, defined as BTC held for over 155 days
- LTH-MVRV represents the profitability status of long term holders
- LTH-RP represents the average cost of long term holders
Let's now dive into the main content!
What Is LTH?
LTH = Long Term Holder, defined by Glassnode as "BTC held for over 155 days".
As for why it is 155 days, Glassnode has provided a detailed explanation on their official website; due to the complexity of the content, I will not delve into it here, but interested readers can explore it on their own.
Introduction to LTH-RP
LTH-RP, which stands for Long Term Holder's Realized Price, is essentially their average holding cost. The algorithm divides LTH-Realized Cap by the circulating supply.
As shown in the graph below, the light green color represents the overall market's Realized Price, while the dark green color represents the LTH's Realized Price. The holding cost of long term holders is usually lower than the overall market's average cost.
Comparison of Realized Price and LTH-RP
Introduction to LTH-MVRV
Representing the profit situation of long-term holders, similar to the calculation of MVRV, the LTH-MVRV algorithm is "current market value / LTH-Realized Cap," which can also be expressed as "current market price / LTH-Realized Price."
As shown in the chart below, the change in LTH-MVRV is usually more pronounced than MVRV, because the profits of long-term holders are usually substantial.

Application of Bottom Fishing for LTH-MVRV
When LTH-MVRV < 1 (or in other words, when the market price is below LTH-RP), it means that even the average long-term holder is at a loss, usually indicating a good bottom fishing opportunity.
As shown in the chart below, I have marked the times when LTH-MVRV < 1, which mostly correspond to cyclical major bottoms. When designing a bottom fishing strategy, this indicator can be taken into consideration~

SoftBank Group reported a net loss of 1.12 trillion yen in its second fiscal quarter, marking its first quarterly loss in nearly two years. The main reasons are the write-off of nearly $3.7 billion in advance payments due to adjustments in the procurement of power supply equipment for its AI data center in Ohio, USA, a shift of the Vision Fund from profit to loss, and a surge in the cost of high-debt financing. Since the June peak, SoftBank's share price has fallen more than 50%.

Will the Federal Reserve raise rates in December? Tonight's CPI will be the final verdict!
The October CPI data will be released tonight, with the market pricing in an 86% chance of a rate hike. Goldman Sachs predicts a core CPI month-on-month increase of only 0.16%, much lower than market expectations. However, statistical distortions in health insurance and declines in used car prices—these "soft factors"—are unlikely to be reflected in the core PCE, which the Federal Reserve places greater emphasis on. The data may trigger a relief rally, but it is unlikely to change the underlying hawkish sentiment.
