Interestingly, the deflection in Bitcoin’s flow determines whether the asset is undervalued or overvalued depending on the ratio between the current price and ‘stock-to-flow’. An asset is stated as overvalued if the deflection is greater than or equal to 1 and undervalued if it is less than 1.

According to the findings from Glassnode, a blockchain analytics digital platform, it is indicated that Bitcoin’s stock-to-flow deflection has reached as low as an ATL of 0.188, suggesting it is undervalued.

It is to be noted that Bitcoin’s dominance has dropped from 48.45% to its maximum low range over the past few weeks. However, the drop in dominance doesn’t suggest the fall in Bitcoin’s price. Instead, it is a reminder of other coins moving at a greater pace.
