MVRV, the on-chain metric that helps determine the average profit/loss of investors who purchased ADA over the past month, climbed to a local peak of 18.61% on November 10. MVRV is 8.68% on November 14. It can be concluded that ADA traders who acquired the asset within the past thirty days have sold and realized their profits, the metric therefore fuels a bearish outlook for Cardano price.
