End of bull run? The Graph awaits correction after a 200% GRT price rally

The Graph (GRT) price slipped on Feb. 8 alongside a broader correction across the top crypto assets.

GRT’s price plunged nearly 14.5% intraday to $0.18, showing signs of short-term upside exhaustion after rising over 200% earlier in the year. At its sessional high, the token was changing hands for $0.23 on Feb. 7, its highest level in nine months

In either case, GRT’s overbought status risks plunging its price by 30% in the next month to $0.13, a support level from the May–June 2022 consolidation session. The line also appears near the GRT/USD pair’s 200-day exponential moving average (200-day EMA; the blue wave) near $0.11.

Nevertheless, from a fundamental perspective, GRT looks stronger due to its healthy network metrics.

For instance, The Graph recorded 66% quarter-over-quarter growth in its revenue from query fees in Q4 2022 due to the migration of
