Summary
- Bitcoin network fundamentals exhibit patterns similar to those seen before bullish periods.
- Today, BTC’s price failed to maintain support at $67,000.
Despite Bitcoin’s price decline below the important $67,000 level today, network fundamentals are reflecting patterns similar to the ones seen before bullish moves.
Bitcoin Network Fundamentals Turned Positive
BTC Hashrate
First of all, Bitcoin’s hashrate surged to a new ATH, showing intensified mining competition and boosting the mining difficulty to levels that have not been seen before.
BTC Mining Difficulty
CryptoQuant shared a graph via X, revealing the increase in BTC mining difficulty. Yesterday, BTC mining difficulty jumped by 3.9%, hitting 95.67T.
The increase in hashrate and mining difficulty means that Bitcoin’s intrinsic value is going up, and it’s becoming a more attractive investment.
Number of Active BTC Addresses
Also, the number of active addresses in the past 30 days has been rising since mid-September. In the past 30 days, the number of active addresses has been getting closer to 1 million.
On September 18, the total number of active addresses was almost 714,000, according to Glassnode data.
Bitcoin Fees
Also, Bitcoin fees in the past 30 days have also recorded a surge, after a significant drop that debuted back in July.
According to YCharts, the BTC average transaction fees spiked on October 17, over $6,400 at an average per transaction.
The notable rise in Bitcoin transaction fees is showing more activity on the network.
Usually when BTC rallies, the number of active addresses and transactions also spikes, and network fees follow suit.
Bitcoin’s network fundamentals are exhibiting patterns that are similar to the ones that have been observed ahead of other previous bullish periods.
Now, BTC has seen a price correction, which can be a great accumulation time for traders.
BTC Price Is Trading Above $66,000
At the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading near $66,200, down by 2.5% in the past 24 hours.
Today, BTC’s price failed to maintain the $67,000 level, as BTC ETFs recorded their first day of outflows on October 22 at $79 million, following 7 days of inflows.
However, the fundamentals mentioned above along with the fact that Donald Trump continues to see rising election odds could catalyze further growth for BTC’s price. Also, BTC accumulation addresses surged by 93%, nearing $194 billion – another bullish signal.
The US Elections are less than two weeks away, and Bitcoin, along with the crypto market could see intense volatility around the important event. Now, data from Polymarket shows that Trump is leading Kamala Harris by 65% to 35.1%.
