<div class="watcher-guru">
 <p>Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and these four altcoins show signs of a price plunge amidst a rise in profit-taking. The MVRV (market-value-to-realized-value) ratio compares an asset’s current market valuation to the total amount paid for it by investors.</p>
 <p>When the market capitalization is much higher than the realized capitalization, it often signals that prices have become detached from fair value due to excessive speculation. This scenario typically foreshadows an impending sell-off as investors seek to lock in profits. At present, these five altcoins show inflated 30-day MVRV ratios, implying they may be overbought.</p>

 <p>The blockchain domain name provider ENS has a sky-high 30-day MVRV of 54.19%, according to Santiment. Such an elevated level means over half of ENS tokens are held in wallets with unrealized profits. This concentration of gains makes ENS highly vulnerable to a wave of profit-taking.</p>

 <p>Even Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, displays a heightened 30-day MVRV of 13.02%. While lower than the previous cryptos, this still suggests around 13% of ETH’s market cap exists as unrealized gains—a sizeable level given ETH’s $157 billion valuation.</p>
