Understanding the Market Dynamics with MVRV and SOPA

MVRV and SOPA are key on-chain metrics that provide insights into market sentiment and behavior. MVRV, Market Value to Realized Value, indicates whether the market is in profit or loss based on held coins. At bull market peaks, MVRV tends to reach levels around 3.5%, signaling profit-taking. On the other hand, SOPA, Spent Output Profit Ratio, tracks profit-taking behavior. Low SOPA values indicate holders realizing profits, potentially leading to market dips or tops. By analyzing MVRV and SOPA, investors can gauge the market sentiment and make informed decisions on when to buy or sell.
