#Key Metric Categories

#Valuation Metrics

• MVRV and MVRV Z-Score: Market value vs. realized value ratio and its statistical deviation
• NUPL: Net unrealized profit/loss across the network
• Realized Cap: Aggregate value of all UTXOs at their last moved price
• Reserve Risk: Confidence-weighted opportunity cost of holding vs. selling
• True Market Mean: Volume-weighted average acquisition price across all active supply
• Active MVRV: MVRV calculated using only economically active supply

#Supply Metrics

• STH/LTH Supply: Short-term and long-term holder supply breakdown
• Supply in Profit/Loss: Percentage of circulating supply currently in profit or loss
• Active Supply Skew: Ratio of recently active supply to dormant supply
• LTH/STH Net Position Change: Accumulation and distribution trends by holder cohort
• Holder Realized Prices: Cost basis levels for different holder groups

#Momentum Metrics

• SOPR: Spent output profit ratio, measuring realized profit/loss of moved coins
• Composite Momentum: Multi-factor oscillator combining several on-chain signals
• MVRV Momentum: Rate of change and z-score derivatives of MVRV
• NUPL Momentum: Oscillator derived from net unrealized profit/loss trends
• Realized Profit Deviation: Statistical deviation of realized profits from trend

#Network Metrics

• Active Addresses: Daily count of unique addresses participating in transactions
• Transaction Count: Daily on-chain transaction volume
• UTXOs Created/Spent: UTXO set growth and consumption rates
• Liveliness: Ratio of coin days destroyed to coin days created

#Profit / Loss Metrics

• Realized Profit/Loss: Aggregate realized gains and losses from spent outputs
• Net Realized P/L: Net difference between realized profit and realized loss
• Relative Unrealized P/L: Unrealized profit/loss normalized by market cap
• Sell-Side Risk Ratio: Realized profit/loss relative to realized cap
• STH/LTH Realized P/L Ratio: Profit-taking behavior segmented by holder cohort
