Bitcoin’s blockchain has seen a major spike in usage, hitting its highest activity level in six months.
Nearly a million unique addresses were active on May 3, according to blockchain data—pointing to growing user interest just as BTC holds steady around $95,000.
The surge in engagement comes amid mounting speculation that Bitcoin is on the edge of a decisive price move. Historically, when address activity climbs like this, it often signals a buildup before strong price momentum—either up or down.
Currently, BTC is trading within a tight band, with $96,160 acting as a floor and resistance forming near $98,290. If bulls manage to push past that upper barrier, analysts believe $100,000 could soon be within reach.
Adding to the bullish case, some technical analysts say Bitcoin is shaking off recent downward pressure tied to geopolitical events and economic uncertainty. As confidence returns and long-term holders stay firm, the market may be preparing for its next leg upward—possibly targeting the $106,000 range if momentum holds.
Between April 28 and May 4, the firm behind the well-known Bitcoin accumulation strategy added another 1,895 BTC to its reserves, spending around $180.3 million in the process.
The global financial system could be nearing a major turning point, according to Strike CEO Jack Mallers, who believes the era of unchecked debt and unbalanced trade is beginning to unwind.
