Ethereum

Value

Bitcoin

A key metric used to determine whether Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) is overvalued or not has been “heating up” relative to Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) — though one analyst argues the asset may not be in overbought territory just yet.&nbsp;
Crypto analysis firm CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that while Ethereum’s Market Value Realized Value (MVRV) is rising quickly — it has also come with an uptick in transaction volume and active addresses on the Ethereum network.
“ETH MVRV is rising faster than BTC MVRV, suggesting ETH market is heating up relative to its on-chain fundamentals,” Ju <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1803533050975793209" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wrote</a> in a June 19 X post.
The MVRV indicates when an asset is trading above or below its fair price, which is essentially the difference between the price users paid for the asset and the current market price.
In comparison to Bitcoin over the past 30 days, Ethereum’s MVRV has jumped 29.9% to reach 91.43%, while Bitcoin’s MVRV has gone the other way, falling 10.8% to reach 127.41% over the same period, as per Santiment <a href="https://app.santiment.net/charts/HWCegaMM__sCl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a>.

A high MVRV means the market value of Ether is higher than its realized value — suggesting it is overvalued, which can fear a potential sell-off in the future.
When it declines it suggests that the market is cooling off, and the price may be getting nearer to its fair value.
However, Ju suggests with spot Ether ETFs expected to be trading soon, the high MVRV is unlikely to scare away investors.
“Given the current ETF situation, this might be an ETH-only season,” Ju added, referring to the timeline for ETF trading, which is SEC Chair <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-chair-spot-ether-etf-s1-approvals-summer" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gary Gensler reportedly said will start</a> “over the course of this summer,” while ETF analyst Eric Balchunas <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/spot-ethereum-etf-ether-eric-balchunas-bloomberg" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">suggested it could begin as early as July 2</a>.

Pseudonymous crypto technical analyst Yoddha pointed to Ether’s current price position on the chart, noting there’s been slight consolidation following a morning star formation — a signal of a bullish reversal from the bottom of a downtrend.
“Ethereum is holding up the price pretty well and looks ready to go bonkers,” pseudonymous crypto technical analyst Yoddha <a href="https://x.com/CryptoYoddha/status/1803486954748772688" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wrote</a> on June 19.
“It will be above $10,000 before the end of year. Mark my words,” Yoddha added.
