The Bitcoin Network Value to Transactions (NVT) Golden Cross indicator attained overheated values coinciding with the recent local top in the price.

An analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/660e9b5ebbcd400a6e068283-NVT-Golden-Cross-Indicated-a-Local-Peak-at-317-Level" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a> explained that the NVT Golden Cross may have served as an indicator of the recent top in cryptocurrency prices. 
The “<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/bitcoin-nvt-remains-bullish-all-clear-signal-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">NVT</a>” refers to an on-chain metric that tracks the ratio between Bitcoin’s market cap and transaction volume (both in USD). This ratio is generally used to determine whether the asset’s price is fair or not. 
When the indicator has a high value, the asset’s price (the market cap) is high compared to its utility (the transaction volume). Such a trend may suggest that the coin could be overvalued currently. 
On the other hand, the low metric could suggest the network isn’t valued fairly compared to its high ability to transact capital, and as such, its price may be due to an uplift. 
In the context of the current discussion, the NVT itself isn’t interesting, but rather, a modified version called the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/bitcoin-nvt-golden-cross-bullish-rally-restart/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">NVT Golden Cross</a> is. This metric compares the short-term trend of the NVT (10-day moving average) against its long-term trend (30-day MA). 
Like the NVT, this variant is also used to estimate the fairness of the asset. Historically, values greater than 2.2 have been a signal that BTC is overheated, as the short-term trend is notably outpacing the long-term at these levels. 
Similarly, values under the -1.6 level may indicate that the cryptocurrency is undervalued; hence, its price may likely form a bottom and find a rebound soon. 
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross over the last few years:

As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross rose to relatively high levels earlier. This growth happened as the asset’s price rallied towards the $71,000 level. 
The metric had touched the 3.17 mark in this surge, which suggests the coin may have become too overpriced. Indeed, the asset followed this by observing a sharp <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/bitcoin-traders-buy-dip-btc-plunges-66000/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">drawdown</a>, which took it back under the $65,000 level. 
As the quant has marked in the chart, a similar pattern of the NVT Golden Cross hitting these high levels and resulting in a price correction was observed at different points over the last few years. 
Since the latest overheated signal, the indicator has cooled off alongside the Bitcoin price, although it hasn’t gone towards the negative side yet.
