What sets this rally apart is the consistency in MKR’s price patterns, characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a clear indicator of a bullish trend in the market.  The Relative Strength Index (RSI), according to recent price analysis, lends further credence to this bullish sentiment, with a reading of 79.34, indicating robust bullish momentum surrounding the MKR token. 📈 #Maker‘s price has now surged +40% in the past 16 days with its active addresses hitting a 10-week high in tandem with the asset crossing $1,500. An inflow of $MKR moving to exchanges is something to be cautious of for at least a temporary local top. https://t.co/oFeijYNZCO pic.twitter.com/rStBGX6TdM — Santiment (@santimentfeed) September 28, 2023 In addition to the price surge, data provided by Santiment reveals that the number of active MKR addresses has reached a 10-week high. This not only signifies an influx of new users into the Maker ecosystem but also highlights heightened activity among existing supporters of the protocol.  MKR market cap currently at $1.5 billion. Chart: TradingView.com MKR Breaches $1,500 Barrier Interestingly, this surge in activity coincided with MKR’s price surpassing the $1,500 threshold, suggesting a correlation between price action and increased user engagement. However, amid the optimism, Santiment issues a cautionary note for MKR investors. They emphasize the importance of vigilance concerning the current influx of tokens to exchanges, as this trend may foreshadow a potential market correction in the short term. While the current bullish momentum is undeniable, investors should remain cautious and mindful of the potential market dynamics in the coming days.
