Is a price correction inevitable?
AMBCrypto’s analysis of CryptoQuant’s data revealed quite a few interesting metrics. For instance, the king coin’s binary CDD was green, meaning that long-term holders’ movement in the last 7 days was lower than the average. They have a motive to hold their coins.
However, the aSORP suggested that more investors have been selling at a profit. In the middle of a bull market, it can indicate a market top.
Moreover, the NULP was also bearish, as it indicated that investors were in a belief phase where they were in a state of high unrealized profits.
