Ethereum (ETH) stands out with one of the best price performances from last week as a general bullish sentiment swept across the crypto market. During this period, the dominant altcoin gained by 9.06% with its prices briefly entering the $4,700 price range. As the majority of investors hold green positions, on-chain data support price movements to remain bullish, albeit only for the short term. Related Reading: Ethereum Validator Slashing Puts Cardano’s Resilience In Focus – Here’s Why Ethereum MVRV Suggests Positive Momentum, Eyes On 2.4 Barrier Prominent crypto analyst Burak Kesmeci has recently shared a potentially impactful on-chain analysis on the Ethereum market. Using data from Glassnode, Kesmeci has observed that the Ethereum MVRV ratio has recently reached 1.97, edging closer to the historically significant 2.4 bearish threshold. For context, the Market Value To Realized Value ratio compares an asset’s current market value to the average price at which all coins last moved on-chain. A rising MVRV typically indicates growing unrealized profits among holders, while extreme levels can suggest overheated conditions where profit-taking may trigger corrections. Therefore, at 1.97, Ethereum’s MVRV suggests that investors are presently sitting on substantial unrealized profits. However, Kesmeci explains that the 2.40 zone is historically associated with market excess. This is because past cycles have shown that when the ratio surpasses 2.40, traders begin to take significant profits, resulting in potential price pullbacks. Interestingly, there is even a more critical threshold at 3.20, which Kesmeci has described as a “very, very hot” zone, i.e, levels where market euphoria has often peaked. This is seen during bull runs in 2017 and 2021 when the ratio spiked far above the 3.20 mark, coinciding with Ethereum’s dramatic price rallies and subsequent corrections. With the present MVRV at 1.97, Kesmeci’s analysis suggests Ethereum’s positive momentum remains in a safe zone, and market enthusiasts may yet anticipate further price gains for the time being. However, considering the present high levels of bullishness, investors should be on alert for a potential MVRV cross above 2.40, which is expected to induce significant selling pressure.

However, the prominent altcoin is posting significant gains on larger timeframes with price increases of 8.75% and 3.40% on the weekly and monthly charts, respectively. This performance suggests that Ethereum’s broader uptrend remains intact, even as it faces short-term fluctuations. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s daily trading volume has now declined by 14.42% indicating a temporary cooling in market activity, even as underlying momentum continues to support the asset’s upward trajectory.

Solana (SOL) has emerged as a major headliner following an impressive 20.89% gain over the last week. Solana’s price now sits comfortably within the $240 price range and is only 18.05% away from its present all-time high at $294. Interestingly, renowned market expert Ali Martinez has noted a positive effect of SOL’s recent price surge, which points to a sustained price rally. Related Reading: Analyst Sets Bold $1,314 Target For Solana After Cup-And-Handle Breakout SOL Surges Above Key $205 Resistance: Fibonacci Levels Point Toward $362 In an X post on September 13, Martinez shares an in-depth technical analysis of the Solana price structure, which shows significant potential for a prolonged uptrend. Notably, SOL’s price gain from last week resulted in a breakout from a key ascending triangle formation, signaling strong bullish momentum that projects to higher mid-term targets. Looking at the chart below, the latest price surge effectively lifted Solana above the multi-month resistance zone near $205, where price had consolidated between April and August. It is clearly observed that breaking above this resistance, combined with the sustained higher lows that formed the ascending triangle, points to a classic bullish continuation pattern. Notably, the introduction of the Fibonacci extension levels provides more insight into the bullish potential of this recent breakout. The immediate price target presently lies at the 1.272 Fibonacci extension around $250, followed by the 1.414 extension near $277. However, if momentum continues, Solana could reach further upside levels, around $321 (1.618 extension) and the ultimate mid-term target at $362, which corresponds with the 1.786 extension. On the downside, the $205 breakout zone now serves as critical support. Holding above this level is crucial to maintaining the bullish outlook, as a decisive break below it could open the door for a retest of lower Fibonacci retracement zones, particularly around $176 or $156. However, the rising trendline that has supported price action since April adds another layer of structural support for bulls. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flips Key Support, Bulls Now Target $117,000 Solana Price Outlook At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $246, reflecting a modest 1.67% gain over the past 24 hours. However, trading volume has declined sharply by 27.53%, currently standing at $7.49 billion. According to analysts at Coincodex, investor sentiment toward Solana remains broadly bullish, even as the Greed & Fear Index sits at a neutral 52. Their short-term outlook suggests limited price movement, with the asset projected to remain around $247 for the next month. Looking further ahead, analysts expect Solana to climb to $264 over the next three months, highlighting steady but moderate growth expectations. Nevertheless, with a market cap of $131.65 billion, Solana continues to rank as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency in the world. Featured image from Forbes, chart from Tradingview
