CryptoQuant analysts stated that the on-chain indicator MVRV 365-day moving average shows that the market may be approaching a cycle top. This indicator has historically closely matched market cycle tops, and is currently forming a "double-humped camel" pattern similar to 2021. Analysts expect that, following the same 6-month interval pattern, the potential top may form around September 10th, but due to MVRV being a lagging indicator, the actual price peak may occur earlier by the end of August. This timing aligns with market expectations of a possible Fed rate cut and a shift in macro sentiment. Investors should maintain both optimism and caution at this stage, strengthen risk management, and remain flexible in response.
