Crypto’s Major Assets Show Signs of Undervaluation, Says Santiment

• Ethereum sits at -14.3% undervalued, Bitcoin at -6.9%, suggesting recent buyers face losses but long-term gains possible.

• Most large-cap cryptos hover in mildly to strongly undervalued zones, hinting at limited short-term downside.

• Santiment recommends dollar-cost averaging during periods of market pain for historically strong long-term returns.

Crypto traders may want to take note as major assets look undervalued, as per the latest analysis from Santiment. The crypto analytics platform pointed out the important information from the 30-day MVRV metric, which tracks whether new buyers are in profit or in loss.

The analysis concentrated on Cardano ($ADA), Ethereum ($ETH), Bitcoin ($BTC), XRP ($XRP), and Chainlink ($LINK). According to Santiment, Bitcoin is somewhat undervalued by -6.9%, while Ethereum is really overvalued by -14.3%. Cardano, XRP, Chainlink, and other cryptocurrencies are all trading below their fair value. Traders may therefore see this as a sign of a possible buying opportunity.

The MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio measures a coin’s current market price against the price at which it last moved on-chain. In simple terms, it shows whether investors are sitting on profits or losses. High MVRV numbers suggest potential profit-taking, while low or negative values show that holders are feeling the pain.

Consequently, Santiment recommends buying or dollar-cost averaging during times of widespread losses. “Buying and dollar cost averaging when on-chain data shows a lot of pain among the average wallet, as it does now, is historically a sound strategy,” the platform stated.

Market Analysis: Trends and Implications

Santiment’s chart divides the prices of cryptocurrencies into five categories: strongly overvalued, mildly overvalued, neutral, mildly undervalued, and strongly undervalued. Currently, most of the major cryptocurrencies are in the mildly to strongly undervalued category.

This means that most people who just bought the cryptocurrencies are probably losing money, which could reduce the pressure on the sellers to sell since they want to make money. When the price of cryptocurrencies is overpriced, it will be at its peak, and when it is underpriced, the market will be at its lowest point.

The lower valuations also suggest overall market sentiment has cooled compared to previous highs. In simple terms, the market is calmer and trading at quieter levels. Analysts note that downside risk may be limited in the near term, though this doesn’t guarantee prices will bounce immediately.
