- The price performance of Link showed that the downward trend remained intact on the daily graphics
- On-chain statistics suggested that token does not match the performance of the previous run
Chain link [LINK] Saw a strong pump on Sunday 2 March, after the announcement of an American strategic crypto reserve. This was followed by the US President who confirmed the rates about Mexico and Canada and extra rates for Chinese input.
This contributed that the Dow fell by 2.53% from the highlights of Monday.

Consequently, the entire cryptomarkt went lower and link was forced to fulfill the weekend pump, just like Bitcoin [BTC]. Have the statistics shown more positivity for Chainlink holders in the longer term?
Falling link transfers on the chain in addition to price decrease influences N / A
The network value for transactions (NVT) Metriek distributes market capitalization through the transferring volume transferred in USD. A higher NVT implies that market capitalization is high compared to the volume transfer, which means that an overvalued one acts as an increased p/e transfer with shares.
In September 2024, the NVT became the highest point it had since January 2020, because the volume on the chains fell to its lows of July 2023. After that the volume was picked up, forcing the NVT during the November-December Price Rally.
The aforementioned graph emphasized the transfer volume of Link.
In the past two months it had started with the trend to the south, especially because reduced prices reduced the enthusiasm behind link and affected user numbers. At the time of the press, the NVT graph also started to trend higher.
Do investors want to take profit more aggressively?
The MVRV ratio gave an even better insight into market sentiment. It gave a clearer idea about the fair price of Kettinglink. At the time of the press, the MVRV ratio was 1.29, which meant that holders were on average with a considerable profit.
And yet the MVRV was not nearly near the levels that reached it in 2020 and 2021. Yet the Altcoin market has diluted enormously in the last four years. It is possible that the MVRV of Link will never reach the profit levels from 2020, because Link Bulls were relatively weaker.
The NUPL is the ratio of relative non -realized profit to relatively unrealized loss. A high ratio means that there are more investors in non -realized profit, which would mean that the market is greedy. For Chainlink the opposite was true.
The sliding prices in recent weeks meant that the ratio began to match an anxious sentiment. The value of 0.18 was far away from the 0.62 level from December, which shows that non-realized profit was eaten by the downward trend.
The metric did not fall under 0.55 in the 2020-21 run, but had trouble remedying this level in the past six months. This emphasized the enormous difference in the performance of link between Cycli. Perhaps holders should be more aggressive in taking a profit if the downward trend will turn over in the coming months.
