On-chain data shows Bitcoin touched bottom in late November
The cryptocurrency realm witnessed one of the most catastrophic events in November 2022, the fall of FTX. The prices of major coins took a toll after the event. On-chain data suggests that Bitcoin might have touched its bottom in late 2022.
Two of the major trends, including the Market Value to Realized Value Ratio (MVRV) and the Net Unrealized Profit and Loss metric (NUPL), reversed after the FTX event. The MVRV was around 0.75, according to CryptoQuant data, on November 9. The data is crucial in understanding whether a particular asset is undervalued.

Similar to MVRV, NUPL is a major indicator that identifies whether the price of BTC is undervalued or overvalued. The NUPL reading had touched -0.3 in November, when the price of Bitcoin was at $15,800. This is an indication that BTC could have touched its bottom in late 2022.
