About this metric
What it measures
Proximity MVRV divides BTC price by Proximity Realized Price, a cost-basis average that gives greater weight to holdings acquired near the current price. The unitless ratio measures price relative to that locally weighted cost, rather than the average cost of all supply.
How to read it
Above 1, spot exceeds the weighted cost; below 1, it sits beneath it. Larger positive deviations describe more local paper profit. The middle half of historical readings lies roughly between 0.993 and 1.033, so small moves around 1 are normal for this measure, unlike the wider scale of standard MVRV.
The weighting changes with proximity to spot, so the underlying mix can shift even without coins changing hands. A reading below 1 does not mean most supply or all holders are underwater. Standard MVRV cycle thresholds do not transfer to this narrow-range ratio.

FAQ
Why does Proximity MVRV usually stay close to 1?
Its denominator emphasizes costs near the current market price, so it naturally follows spot more closely than the all-supply average cost. The full-history median is about 1.006.
Does Proximity MVRV identify short-term holders?
No. Proximity refers to the distance between acquisition cost and current price, not a fixed holding-age cutoff. An older holding can receive weight if its cost is close to spot.
What was a notable high in Proximity MVRV?
It reached about 1.305 on December 16, 2017, meaning spot was roughly 30.5% above the proximity-weighted cost. That historical reading is context, not a reusable peak threshold.
