Even after hitting a new all-time high on March 11, LookintoBitcoin founder Philip Swift, in a post on X, believe The bitcoin bull market is just getting started and has “a long way to go.” To support this bullish preview, Swift points to a popular on-chain metric, the MVRV Z-Score, which currently stands at 2.87.
bitcoin bulls have been relentless on the writing, driving prices to new highs. After breaking above $70,000 last week, prices rose sharply on March 11, taking the coin to an all-time high of $72,800. The bulls remain optimistic and expect more gains and even new all-time highs in the coming sessions.

Historically and how explained According to LookintoBitcoin, the MVRV Z-Score has proven useful in identifying when spot rates have risen far beyond the realized value. In this case, the realized value is the average price that holders paid for all coins in circulation.
According to data from LookintoBitcoin, the MVRV Z-Score rises to 2.87, up from 2.82 when Swift posted on in more than 5.
Consequently, on spot readings, the low reading suggests that the bulls have more room to push prices further in the coming sessions. This also means that the current all-time high of $72,800 will likely be surpassed as prices skyrocket.
As bitcoin trends towards all-time highs and confidence grows, the low MVRV Z-Score only adds to the growing chorus of bullish sentiment surrounding the world's most valuable currency. The current surge is primarily due to institutions doubling down on the currency, removing more coins from circulation.
