NVT (original) - Network Value to Transactions

2019년 7월 18일

I'm reposting the NVT indicator that was originally available for public use in TradingView.

NVT Signal is a Bitcoin-specific study to get a view on data flowing through the blockchain.

It has been used to predict tops in Bitcoin price.

I've set up this indicator for it to be possible to base the calculations on custom:

• Transaction Periods
  
• Overbought levels
  
• Oversold levels
  

The indicator plots in any BTCUSD spot, futures, BLX index and BTCEUR.

It paints in intraday time frames, but Daily time frame is the correct one to interpret the 'official' read of it.

For that reason, I've enabled by default an option that forces the NVT to display the Daily value even though the time frame could be higher or lower.

Please consider unchecking this setting if you'd like to experiment with another type of reads (i.e. in weekly time frame).

Additionally, it allows the following settings:

• Signal Line Plot. Added the possibility to plot a Signal Line based on EMA.
  
• Signal Line Cross. Show/Hide Crosses with the Signal Line.
  
• Alerts based on Signal Line. Predefined Tradingview Alerts on the Cross of the Signal Line.
  *OverBought Background. Highlight the background based on OB Condition.
  *OverBought Alert. Predefined Tradingview Alerts based on OB Condition.
  *OverSold Background. Highlight the background based on OS Condition.
  *OverSold Alert. Predefined Tradingview Alerts based on OS Condition.

The Ratio (NVT) - Network Value to Transactions was computed using an estimated transactional volume from Quandl which was available until 2023.

From 2024 all NVT indicators became unusable. This is an attempt to fix the indicator by using the On-Chain Bitcoin Volume. The problem is that transactional volume is way lower than the On-Chain value, due to the effect of internal moves between accounts of the major exchanges.

Therefore from now on, the values delivered by the indicator don't correlate with the values delivered before 2024. That turns the indicator useless in its current state.

I'll fix the indicator whenever we have available at Tradingview a new source from where to compute the transactional BTC volume.

In the meantime, you might consider using the Pulse DPO indicator. It has triggered on all BTC Major Tops and Bottoms, plus it signals the cycles on other markets like stocks, forex, indexes and commodities.
