Being able to detect crypto trend reversals gives you a better idea about market sentiment. We highlight 5 important indicators for you.
So, we have found some metrics that can help you identify these crypto trend reversals.
The Bitcoin Difficulty Ribbon is a metric that shows the difficulty of Bitcoin mining. It uses simple moving averages to determine this difficulty. For example, the 200-, 128-, 90-, 60-, 40-, 25-, or 14-day moving average. Willy Woo came up with this indicator. It dates back to 2019.
The idea behind this ribbon is that it can tell you when it’s the best time to buy $BTC. The best time to buy $BTC is when the ribbon compresses or flips negatively. This article by Willy Woo gives you a deeper understanding of how this indicator works. See the chart below.

The MVRV ratio stands for the Market Value to Realized Value Ratio. In other words, it compares the market cap (market value) to its realized value. It indicates if a crypto token is under or overvalued.
With this indicator, overvaluation is in the red zone. On the other hand, the green zone indicates undervaluation. So, the orange line going in the red zone, means $BTC is currently too expensive. However, once this orange line hits the green zone, it’s time to buy $BTC, according to this indicator. For more information, check this article by one of its creators.

The percent supply in profit is what it says. It measures the percentage of the circulating supply that is in profit. In other words, the last price change of the coin you follow was below the current price.
This measurement dates back to November 2019. Glassnode introduced it. If values read 95% or higher, it indicates the top. Values below 5% mean that the bottom is there. The current $BTC supply in profit is around 80%. During a market rally, this percentage will go up. However, during a correction, this percentage should go down. See the chart below.
