On-chain development of GRT
In terms of on-chain metrics, The Graph Protocol witnessed a decline in its activity after 14 November. The price also exhibited some correlation with the declining activity.
Another indicator of declining activity would be the Protocol’s depreciating velocity. This implied that the frequency at which GRT was being exchanged amongst addresses had declined.
However, even though there were a lot of bearish indicators against GRT, its MVRV had been climbing steadily over the last few days. Even so, the reading of MVRV was still negative. Thus, implying that if most holders were to sell their positions, they would do it at a massive loss.
If the MVRV goes into positive territory, holders could be tempted to sell their holdings and exit their positions.
