 <p class="paragraph">After considerable <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="gains" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/gains.html">gains</a>, amid which Bitcoin (BTC) reached a high of $44,000, a recent trend might show that further investor and institutional support might be needed for BTC’s price to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="continue" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/continue.html">continue</a> upward.</p>
 <div></div>
 <p class="paragraph">The Bitcoin network has experienced a noticeable decline in growth in the last month, raising concerns about the viability of flagship crypto‘s recent surge to $44,000.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">To ensure a resilient extension of the bullish trend, it is important to observe an increase in creating new BTC addresses. This uptick is essential for supporting a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="continue" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/continue.html">continue</a>d bullish momentum, per a post on X from crypto analyst Ali Martinez on December 18.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">The disparity between the addition of new addresses and the recent price surge of this digital asset indicates that further corrections might be a likely scenario in the near future. This trend could be reversed after the announcement of a potential BTC spot ETF, which could conceivably open the floodgates of institutional investment.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">From an analytical standpoint, there remains a reasonable expectation that the lows in Bitcoin will be revisited before a gradual ascent occurs. The prospect of profit-taking towards the year’s conclusion suggests a likelihood of entering an up-only mode, commencing later this week or early in the following week, as per a post from crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe on December 18.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-price-analysis">Bitcoin price analysis</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">At the time of press, Bitcoin was trading at $41,168, representing a decrease of&nbsp; -1.49% in the past 24 hours, adding to the losses of -2.28% incurred over the last week. Contrary to this, the previous 30 days have brought an increase of 13.01%.</p>
