Despite chaotic price movements in July this year, the crypto market has been booming over the past couple of weeks, with many digital assets recovering from the downturn earlier this month. However, this trend is not uniform across the entire cryptocurrency sector.
This is the situation where, while some assets such as Toncoin, Bitcoin and Ethereum are showing growth, others are facing more challenging conditions. In particular, holders of popular cryptocurrencies such as XRP and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have experienced a period of market difficulties, according to on-chain analytics service Santiment.
To assess sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, a key indicator was used, which is the market value to realised value ratio (MVRV). This indicator compares the current market value of digital assets to the price at which they were last sold, which provides insight into investor returns. A negative MVRV Z-score, as is the case with XRP and SHIB, indicates that the average holder is currently at risk.
Why is it bullish?
It may seem hopeless, but historical trends are nonetheless encouraging. Statistically, assets with a low MVRV Z-score tend to rise when the market recovers. This can be attributed to several factors, including oversold conditions, accumulated buying pressure and the resulting higher potential for significant price appreciation, which represents the greater opportunity in the eyes of market participants.
In conclusion, the current predicament of XRP and Shiba Inu holders can be taken into account as an investment opportunity. As the crypto market as a whole continues to strengthen, these assets, with their low price, are definitely worth considering.
