Solana MVRV Signals More Gains Ahead Amid Market Downturn: Analysts
Amid a crypto market mayhem over the past week, Solana (SOL) has suffered significant losses to the tune of 17.13%,. according to data from CoinMarketCap. This decline adds to the tokens steep price movement after it reached a new all-time high of $263.83 following the US Presidential elections in November. However, with the crypto bull cycle still in its early stages, analysts at Glassnode remain positive on the tokens ability to regain its bullish form despite not establishing any higher highs in the past three weeks.

More Room For SOL Price Growth, Analysts Say In a recent blog post on December 20, Glassnode in collaboration with crypto analysts UkuriaOC and CryptoVizArt shared vital insights on the current state of the Solana market. By analyzing the Net Realized Profit/Loss metric, these market experts discovered that Solana has experienced a positive net capital inflow since early September 2023, with a recorded peak inflow of $776 million of new capital per day. During this period, the SOL market witnessed minor inflows with the majority of the profit-taking volume coming from coins aged 1 day-1 week, 1 week-1 month, and 6 months-12 months, demonstrating the endearment of Solana to both long and short-term holders. To ascertain the status of Solana amidst these recent market activity, Glassnode employs the MVRV ratio to determine if the market is overheated. For context, the Market Value To Realized Value (MVRV) ratio is used to assess if an asset is potentially overvalued (>1) or undervalued (<1). This MVRV ratio can be used to establish pricing bands that classify investors profitability into ranges. Using this setup, Glassnode observes that Solana is currently observing a sideways movement between the mean MVRV and +0.5 standard deviation range. This development indicates the Solana market is quite heated but still far from a bull cycle top. This is because MVRV breakouts of +1 standard deviation have historically signaled when the altcoin forms a longer-term macro topping formation. Therefore, Solana still has the potential to record much profit before entering an overheated zone that will likely precede a market downtrend.
