A broader look at the chart showed that the period between April and June witnessed a rapid acceleration in the number of holders. This surge occurred when the price range hovered around $27,000, creating an interesting correlation between price movement and holder growth.
Possible support level on a daily timeframe
As of this writing, Bitcoin was trading around $30,300 on a daily timeframe, demonstrating resilience in maintaining this price range. This was despite experiencing minor losses in the previous and ongoing trading sessions, both of which were below 1%. Since Bitcoin entered the $30,000 range around 21 June, it has managed to sustain this level despite occasional setbacks.
