Analyst Expects ‘Wild Week’ Ahead
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez noted that despite recent highs, Ethereum may have "more room to run," according to the MVRV Ratio.
MVRV, a shorthand for Market Value to Realized Value, is a ratio used to assess the value of a cryptocurrency by comparing its current market value to its realized value. It suggests whether a cryptocurrency is undervalued or overvalued at a given time.
Michaël van de Poppe, another active cryptocurrency commentator, predicted a "wild week" for the market.
"I assume we’ll see BTC at $120,000, and then have a correction in which we’ll see a sharp drop on altcoins," the analyst said. "Ethereum showed much strength, and I think it will stall."
