# Stock to Flow Deflection

Stock to Flow Deflection is used to determine whether an asset is overvalued or undervalued in terms of its Stock to Flow Ratio.

## Indicator Overview

The Stock to Flow (S/F) Deflection is the ratio between the current price of an asset and its [Stock to Flow Ratio](/further-information/metric-guides/stock-to-flow/stock-to-flow-ratio.md). It is used to determine whether an asset is overvalued or undervalued in relation to its scarcity.

If deflection is ≥ 1 it means that the asset is overvalued according to the S/F model. If deflection is <1, the asset is undervalued according to this model.
