Low network growth in 1INCH, but strong price action
Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, 1INCH has been experiencing a slowdown in network growth for the last four weeks, and at press time, it was down to its monthly low.

Perhaps the aforementioned partnership and other organic developments happening this year might help trigger positive network growth. Nonetheless, the network has achieved growth in other areas in the last two weeks.
For example, there was stimulation in daily active addresses since the start of 2023. This was a noteworthy shift, considering that active addresses dropped towards the end of December 2022.

1INCH’s MVRV ratio (30 days) further revealed interesting insights about token holders. More investors have been holding on to their 1INCH tokens since mid-December 2022 rather than selling. This trend really kicked into high gear in the last days of 2022, resulting in a massive MVRV rally.
This above action denoted poignant accumulation.
How much are 1,10,100 1INCHs worth today?
Fortunately for 1INCH holders, the hodling aligned with the return of bullish momentum. 1INCH traded at $0.44 at the time of writing, which represented a 32% recovery from its 2022 low in December.

1INCH still has more upside potential before it gets into overbought territory. There was a slight increase in the supply held by top addresses between 10 – 11 January, suggesting that whales had added to their balances.

If whales continue to buy, then there could either be an upside surge, or a stronger resilience against the bears.
