| 0:00.0 | Do we actually start to see something of a split market where Bitcoin and a handful of other |
| 0:05.3 | cryptos are going up because of macro fears while alt and more speculative coins are going |
| 0:10.7 | up because everything is flowing into wild money at the end of a cycle? That I think will be |
| 0:16.6 | pretty fascinating to watch. Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW. |
| 0:23.7 | It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. |
| 0:30.9 | The breakdown is sponsored by Nidig and produced and distributed by CoinDesk. |
| 0:37.4 | What's going on, guys? It is Tuesday, November 9th, and today we are talking about a new |
| 0:42.8 | all-time high in Bitcoin and Aeth. What's driving it? What makes this time different? |
| 0:48.8 | What's the on-chain data telling us? Let's dive in. Last night, Bitcoin and Eath both hit new all-time highs. Bitcoin hit 68,38260, and Eith hit |
| 0:59.6 | 4,82395. Overall, the crypto market cap is right around $3 trillion. It has added about a trillion |
| 1:08.4 | dollars in the last month. So today I want to discuss what's driving |
| 1:13.0 | these moves, what they suggest about where we are, how much macro is involved, all that good stuff. |
| 1:19.1 | And first of all, I want to start with on-chain indicators. There has been a ton of on-chain |
| 1:25.5 | analysis recently, and the biggest discussion that I'm seeing |
| 1:28.7 | over and over again is how it just doesn't seem all that overheated right now. |
| 1:34.8 | UTXO management writes, the mayor multiple is a ratio between price and the 200-day moving |
| 1:39.8 | average. It can be used to gauge when Bitcoin is overbought or oversold. Compared to previous multiples |
| 1:45.5 | and all-time highs, we're nowhere near overbought yet. Willie Wu points to the NVT signal. Now, |
| 1:52.4 | NVT signal is network value over the 90-day moving average of daily transaction value. Willey tweets, |
| 1:58.5 | NVTS is one of the oldest on-chain signals, gauging on-chain investor volume. |
| 2:03.9 | Adjusted NVT signal is back in the mid-zone, which means price is no longer overheated. |
| 2:09.3 | Assuming it's a bull market, historically, this is a zone where price is ready to move up. |
