On-chain metrics support bullish outlook on MATIC

On-chain metrics like network growth and Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) support a theory of MATIC price gains. MATIC network growth climbed alongside price in November, as activity remains high in the Ethereum scaling token. There is no bearish divergence, therefore the outlook is bullish to neutral.

MATIC’s MVRV, a metric that helps determine the average profit/loss of investors who acquired a token within the 30-day time frame, currently reads -6.008%. MATIC holders who acquired the token within the past thirty days are sitting on unrealized losses and are less likely to shed their holdings. This implies less selling pressure on the asset and a likelihood of an extended price rally in the altcoin.
