#### **1. Market Data**

MooMetrics integrates real-time market data to help users understand market conditions in relation to trading activity. The market data provided includes:

#### **2. On-Chain Data**

MooMetrics tracks critical on-chain metrics, which offer deep insights into network health, investor sentiment, and the overall state of the market. The key on-chain metrics provided include:

* **NVT Golden Cross**: A modified version of the NVT (Network Value to Transactions) Ratio, designed to identify bullish or bearish market trends.
* **MVRV Z-Score**: Helps determine whether an asset is overvalued or undervalued relative to its historical price trends.
* **NUPL Score**: Assesses market sentiment by calculating the proportion of unrealized profits or losses among holders.
* **SOPR Score**: Measures whether investors are selling at a profit or loss, providing insights into market selling pressure.

#### **3. MooMeters (Technical Indicators)**

MooMeters are technical indicators developed to analyze market momentum rather than attempt to predict future prices. These indicators combine various technical indicators to give users a clear understanding of current market trends and strength. MooMeters are not about forecasting; they are about measuring momentum to help traders better understand the potential strength or weakness of market movements.
