Bitcoin network activity has surged to levels not seen since November 2024, according to CryptoQuant. The blockchain analytics firm reported that daily Bitcoin transactions have reached approximately 615,000, driven by low transaction fees. This environment allows exchanges and large holders to efficiently manage UTXOs and rebalance wallets, suggesting the activity spike may be operational rather than purely demand-driven. Despite the increase in network activity, Bitcoin's price remains range-bound, recently tapping $70,000 before retreating to $68,500. Exchange volumes are low, indicating light participation, and the crypto Fear & Greed Index remains at "extreme fear." Analysts suggest that Bitcoin's price could continue its sideways movement or potentially decline further, with no clear bottom in sight.
