The Bitcoin price action in June has displayed healthy swings from a low of 
about $100,500 to as high as $111,000. While it has lacked the impulsive 
momentum seen in past cycles for more bullish swings, the premier 
cryptocurrency has managed to maintain its valuation above $100,000. Over the 
past week, BTC has displayed relative price stability, with modest bullish 
movement at intervals. The cryptocurrency continued to trade within a tight 
range for most of the week, mirroring a mix of optimism and caution amongst 
market participants. Active Addresses Mirror 2020 Levels In a June 20 post on 
social media platform X, on-chain analytics firm Alphractal published its 
recent findings on the Bitcoin active addresses, revealing that the flagship 
cryptocurrency does not show an indication of market euphoria. Related

The relevant on-chain indicator here is the Active Addresses metric, which 
measures the number of unique addresses that are active on the Bitcoin network 
within a specific timeframe. To be clear, an address is “active” if it is 
receiving and sending Bitcoin during a particular period. The chart shared by 
Alphractal shows that active addresses are at the same level as in 2020. The 
analytics firm pointed out that as of 2020, the market was facing political 
uncertainty, dealing with a global pandemic, and widespread social fear, as 
the effects on market engagement are what is currently being witnessed. In the 
post on X, Alphractal highlighted two possible reasons for this seeming lack 
of enthusiasm seen in investors. Firstly, the market intelligence firm noted 
that investors might have become disillusioned with all that is currently 
happening in the crypto market, regardless of Bitcoin&#8217;s value comfortably 
being above $100,000. On the other hand, Alphractal put forward the 
possibility that this relative inactivity could be a result of a strong long- 
term conviction in the flagship cryptocurrency as a store of value. However, 
this second reasoning was immediately put down by Alphractal as readings from 
two other indicators — the on-chain volume and spot volume — are both low, 
indicating little global interest in the cryptocurrency. As Bitcoin still 
prevails above $100,000, this could be a strong indication, Alphractal 
explained, “that only the most resilient are taking advantage of the long- 
awaited $100k per BTC.” Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, Bitcoin 
is valued at about $103,290, reflecting an over 1% price decline in the past
