<p>Moreover, as the rally sustained its momentum, addresses that made their first transaction in Bitcoin also swelled as seen below.</p>

<p>Bitcoin’s resilience in the bear market and its clean image amidst an increasingly hawkish U.S. regulatory climate has attracted investors from traditional market.</p>
<p>In addition, the excitement surrounding the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) approvals and the approaching <a href="https://bitcoinblockhalf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">halving</a> have increased Bitcoin’s legitimacy, much like a traditional store of value.</p>
<h4><strong>Large investors also show affinity</strong></h4>
<p>Whale investors have also shown significant interest lately. Since mid-October, entities holding at least 1,000 Bitcoins have grown considerably, AMBCrypto discovered using Glassnode data.</p>

<p>For the curious, entities here refer to a group of addresses that are owned by the same network entity.</p>
<p>Strong buying activity from whales is often considered positively in crypto circles in terms of the asset’s future price swings.</p>
<h4><strong>Bitcoin makes a strong recovery</strong></h4>
<p>While adoption was clearly on the rise, some of the investors might have been left disappointed due to the sharp correction observed <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/bitcoin-why-this-might-be-the-right-time-to-buy-the-dip/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">earlier</a> in the week.</p>
<p>More than 34,000 BTCs flew into different crypto exchanges over the last week as short-term holders locked in gains. This caused BTC’s price to dip below $41,000.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">However, BTC bounced back in style, revisiting $43,000, on favorable <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20231213a.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">news</a> from the U.S. Federal Reserve on interest rates. As of this writing, the king coin was exchanging hands at <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">$42,799</a>, up 4.43% in the last 24 hours.</p>
<p>In a statement shared with AMBCrypto, Shivam Thakral, CEO of Indian cryptocurrency exchange BuyUcoin, said,</p>
<blockquote>
 <p>“Fed kept the interest rate unchanged and hinted that it could go for several rate cuts next year, bringing cheer to the trading community as it will boost liquidity in the market and spark economic activity in several sectors. The market is expected to sustain the momentum in the coming weeks.”</p>
