A cryptocurrency analyst known as Ali recently <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1736637268608106933?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">shared</a> this crucial information with the entire cryptocurrency community on December 18, 2023.

 There’s been a noticeable dip in #Bitcoin network growth over the past month, casting doubt on the sustainability of $BTC’s recent move to $44,000. For a robust continuation of the bull rally, it’s crucial to see an uptick in the number of new $BTC addresses. This would provide the needed support for sustained bullish momentum.

This prediction means further corrections may be a scenario for the digital asset. This is because of the discrepancy between the creation of new addresses and the current price increase of Bitcoin. 
Nonetheless, approving <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-spot-etf-300-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">a Bitcoin Spot </a>exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the US might create an&nbsp;avenue for more institutional investment, thereby reversing this trend. 
As of the time of writing, BTC was trading at $40,980, indicating a decrease of over 2% in the past 24 hours. According to CoinMarketCap, its market capitalization decreased by the same percentage in the past 24 hours. 
Digital asset prices have increased by 146% in the last year, demonstrating amazing growth throughout this timeframe. Its performance over the same year exceeded 73% of the leading 100 crypto assets, putting it among the top performers.

Ali has also <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1736680326141816895?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">shared</a> another post on X showing that Bitcoin has witnessed a dip below its key supply zone. The analyst pointed out that the zone ranges from $41,200 to $42,400, of which the asset has recently fallen below this range. 
He added that 1.87 million addresses in this region have accumulated about 730,000 BTC. With&nbsp;this decline, these holders may sell the token to reduce losses.
