Sathvik Vishwanath, Co-Founder & CEO, Unocoin said, "Bitcoin gained 7 per cent in three days and briefly breached the $97,750 resistance on Thursday. The price increase follows MicroStrategy's $200 million BTC purchase on December 29. Despite the market slump at the end of December due to the Fed's hawkish stance, Bitcoin has rebounded following MicroStrategy's continued purchases. Shares of Coinbase ( COIN ) and MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) rose 3 per cent, signaling investor optimism. However, daily active bitcoin addresses fell to a 50-day low, 30 per cent below last month's high, suggesting reduced retail activity. Chain data and stock performance suggest potential for further gains, with market sentiment improving despite a drop in active users."
