Recent data gathered by Santiment, a market intelligence firm, indicates that altcoins may be able to recover some of their losses from the recent downturn in the crypto market.

The platform’s crypto analytics reveal that most altcoins are undervalued and have yet to reach their full potential. This has left investors unsure about how quickly the markets can bounce back.

Bouncing back markets

Santiment has used a market value to realized value (MVRV) metric to determine whether a crypto asset is over or undervalued.

According to this metric, the majority of altcoins are currently trading in the underbought zone. Although traders have mixed opinions about the market’s future, the significant drop in market caps has created a historic opportunity for cryptocurrency returns.

According to Santiment, the recent market crash was one of the most significant drops seen in 2021. However, Bitcoin (BTC) whales have remained active during this period.

The presence of numerous $1 million+ BTC transactions suggests that these whales are actively trading during the downturn. Despite this, the number of large wallets has not decreased.

The cryptocurrency market is still experiencing significant volatility, and the situation is far from settled.

The latest news in the crypto space

In other recent news, Bitcoin’s recent drop has had a ripple effect on other digital assets, and a well-known cryptocurrency analyst is discussing the situation.

With a large following, crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe believes that the markets are currently facing the most significant liquidation event of the year.

Two possible outcomes could arise: either the market is genuinely broken and prices will continue to fall due to issues like Evergrande’s bankruptcy and crashing treasury bonds, or we will see a V-shaped recovery like we did in March and June, possibly due to news like Grayscale’s. It’s understandable that many people are concerned about the recent decline in BTC.

Van de Poppe’s analysis of the open interest and 4H RSI charts clearly highlights how unusual the current situation is.
