" #Low number of active BTC addresses, cause for market downturn" 

The total number of active addresses in the Bitcoin network is at a recent low, similar to when the price of Bitcoin was around $45k three years ago. 

The decrease in the number of active addresses means that the overall activity of the Bitcoin network, or transactions, is decreasing, reflecting a declining interest in using the network. This indifference can have a negative impact on prices. 

Less network activity suggests that price volatility is just as low, and this is the reason for the sideways price range between $50k and $71k. 

However, for some investors, this downturn could be used as an opportunity to buy Bitcoin in anticipation of a future rally.
