It had technical and on-chain backing. It is also worth noting that the Bitcoin price held and reversed at a key Fib level from the low of $74,588 and the high of $99,474. The levels of 0.382 at $89,968, 0.5 at $87,031, and 0.618 at $84,095 were valid pullback points in April.Source: TradingViewAdditionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) closed in at 69.98, just shy of overbought territory. This showed strong bullish momentum without the usual signs of exhaustion. Volume has steadily increased along with price, supporting the legitimacy of the move. Bitcoin has also traded consistently inside a steep ascending channel, forming higher highs and higher lows throughout its rally.Related: BTC Hits $97K After CME Gap Fill and Futures Activity SurgesOn-Chain Activity Signals Strong Network GrowthFurther, looking at a broader perspective, the token, in terms of network fundamentals, as analyzed by blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock, is buttressed by the rising prices of the digital coin. The current active address is above eight hundred thousand since early 2023, indicating high user activity. Such fluctuational balance of daily participation reflects similar trends seen before the start of any historical bull or bear markets.Source: IntoTheBlockThe latest addresses show strength, with daily counts between 300,000 and 400,000 since late 2024. This trend reflects user onboarding despite market volatility, as it sets a picture of long-term investor interest. Additionally, zero-balance addresses have surpassed 1.1 million in 2025, a sign of transaction churn and increasing wallet turnover. Historically, spikes in active and new addresses have coincided with price rallies, such as the 2021 and 2024 bull markets. The close correlation of rising address activity with price lends credence to the bullish case today. The on-chain metrics now exhibit patterns similar to prior instances of breakout by Bitcoin, which implies there could be another one very soon.The post Bitcoin Hits $100K Again and Becomes the 5th Largest Asset appeared first on Cryptotale.
