This metric tracks GALA’s current market price and the average price at which its tokens were acquired. When GALA’s MVRV ratio is positive and above one, analysts consider it overvalued. This means that the asset’s current market value is significantly higher than the price at which most investors acquired their holdings.
On the other hand, a negative MVRV ratio means the token is undervalued, as its market price is below the average purchase price of all its tokens in circulation.
A negative MVRV ratio presents a good buying opportunity because it means that the asset in question trades at a value lower than its historical cost basis.
Further, despite GALA’s oscillation within a tight range, its futures market participants have maintained a bullish outlook. This was gleaned from the token’s positive funding rate.
