Stock to Flow Ratio

The Stock to Flow Ratio is a model of scarcity which can be applied to predict the future price of an asset.

Indicator Overview

The Stock to Flow (S/F) Ratio is a popular model that assumes that scarcity drives value. It is defined as the ratio of the current stock of a commodity and the flow of new production, and is applied across many asset classes.

Bitcoin's price has historically followed the S/F Ratio, making it a popular model for predicting future Bitcoin valuations.
