According to Glassnode, Bitcoin network activity has spiked again after a substantial surge in new BTC entities. The company added that the price range between $30,000 and $40,000 acted as a strong fundamental support area for the crypto asset throughout 2021.
“Looking to the spot/on-chain markets, we can see that the Bitcoin network saw an impulse of new net entities this week, pushing up to net growth of 18.5k entities per day. Through 2021, large impulses of net entities have occurred around volatile periods such as bull market corrections in Q1-Q2, and during the 50%+ sell-off in May. June to Dec 2021 was a period of quiet accumulation with a stable baseline of 12.5k net entities entering the network per day,” Glassnode highlighted in a recent report.
