Since January 2023, #Bitcoin’s on chain transfer volume has been steadily declining and this weakness has continued even as price moves higher, the current rally is not supported by a recovery in real network activity. Instead, the move is largely driven by FOMO, shaped by political backing for Bitcoin in the U.S., the launch of spot ETFs, accumulation by corporate treasuries, and an increasingly bullish media narrative promoted by major KOLs.

Most market participants are not actively transacting but are holding their coins, waiting for higher price levels where selling becomes more attractive. This behavior keeps on chain activity low while pushing prices up through reduced circulating supply, making the rally more narrative driven than fundamentally supported and increasing the risk of heightened volatility once sentiment shifts or profit taking begins.
