Bitcoin has hit a new high of $64,000, but is this rally sustainable? Let’s look at what on-chain data reveals.
On-Chain Activity Metrics on the Rise
Santiment, an on-chain analytics firm, has analyzed Bitcoin’s on-chain activity during its recent rally. They found that three key metrics are all showing positive trends:
- Transaction Volume: This measures the total amount of Bitcoin being transferred on the blockchain. High volume indicates strong investor interest.
- Circulation:
This tracks the number of unique Bitcoin tokens being transferred. A spike in circulation suggests organic trading activity.
- Whale Transaction Count: This counts the number of transfers exceeding $1 million. Increased whale activity indicates their involvement in the rally.
All three metrics have spiked alongside Bitcoin’s price rise, suggesting that user activity and investor participation are high.
Implications for Bitcoin’s Price
Santiment notes that high on-chain activity typically supports price volatility. However, it’s important to remember that activity can also be high during selloffs. If whales and other investors start selling, these metrics could remain elevated even as the price falls.
Current Bitcoin Price
As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $62,700, slightly below its recent peak of $64,000.
