Bitcoin Network Activity Index Signals Bear Market Zone

Recent on-chain data indicates that Bitcoin's network activity has declined, entering a bear market zone. Key points include:

  • The Bitcoin Network Activity Index from CryptoQuant is currently signaling a bear phase.
  • This index tracks various activity metrics such as transaction count and daily active addresses.
  • Since December, the index has sharply decreased, suggesting reduced demand for network usage.
  • A decrease in network activity typically indicates potential price declines.
  • This bear signal has persisted even during recent recovery rallies.
  • Historically, similar signals have preceded bear markets but had exceptions during previous bull runs.

Furthermore, the combined market cap of stablecoins has reached an all-time high, which may positively impact other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.

As of now, Bitcoin is priced at approximately $93,800, reflecting a 1% decrease over the past week.
