On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Active Addresses have continued to see a steep decline recently, a sign that could be bearish for BTC.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Active Addresses Have Recently Seen Their Biggest Drop Since 2021<\/h2>\n

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post<\/a>, the BTC Active Addresses<\/a> have been seeing a decline since March of this year. An address is said to be \u201cactive\u201d when it participates in some kind of transaction activity on the network, whether as a sender or receiver.<\/p>\n

The Active Addresses indicator keeps track of the unique total number of such addresses that are making transfers on the Bitcoin blockchain every day. The unique active addresses may be considered the same as the unique users visiting the network, so the metric essentially tells us about BTC\u2019s daily traffic.<\/p>\n

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the Bitcoin Active Addresses over the last few years:<\/p>\n

As displayed in the above graph, the 100-day SMA of the Bitcoin Active Addresses had been rising during 2023 and the early parts of this year, but since March, the metric has seen a sharp turnaround, with its value now rapidly going down instead. The reversal occurred around the time of BTC\u2019s new all-time high (ATH)<\/a>, so it\u2019s likely that the indicator\u2019s decreasing is happening due to the consolidation that the coin has since been stuck in.<\/p>\n

Investors find sharp price action like rallies to be exciting, while sideways movement to be boring, so the Active Addresses registering a downturn in a period like now isn\u2019t too odd. What may be worth noting, though, is the scale of the drop that the 100-day SMA of the metric has observed. Its value is already below the lowest point observed in the 2022 bear market and could soon fall below the 2021 low as well.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin generally requires an active userbase to keep any rally going, so the indicator\u2019s value witnessing a collapse recently could be a bearish sign. \u201cYou should not be surprised if BTC\u2019s price starts catching up with address activity trend very soon,\u201d notes the quant.<\/p>\n

While the Active Addresses trend has been looking negative, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has said in an X post<\/a> that Bitcoin is still in the middle of the bull cycle.<\/p>\n

The above chart shared by Young Ju shows the trend in the Bitcoin Growth Rate Difference, which is an indicator that compares the growths of the BTC market cap and realized cap.<\/p>\n

The latter of these, the realized cap<\/a>, is an on-chain capitalization model that basically tells us about the amount of capital that the investors as a whole have put into the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

At present, the indicator is green, meaning the market cap is growing faster than the realized cap. \u201cWhen market cap grows faster than realized cap, it may signal a bull market; the reverse could indicate a bear market,\u201d explains the CryptoQuant CEO.<\/p>\n

BTC Price<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin has seen a continuation of its latest plunge during the past day as its price has now slipped to the $62,700 level.<\/p>\n
