Bitcoin showed significant enhancements last week in both its technical and fundamental dynamics, presenting the most promising opportunities for long-side investments since June, according to Capriole analysts. At the same time, this local rally leads the price right into technical resistance, as many well-known chartists say, which poses the question: could we be so lucky to obtain another downside move, providing one more bargain-buying opportunity?

But while some sit at their monitors about 20 hours a day looking for patterns, others perceive the current market period as a window of opportunity, focusing on building and growing. In fact, despite the largest crypto platforms, like Binance or Coinbase, experiencing a decrease in the total number of monthly visits year-to-date (by 22% and 15%, respectively), a number of other exchanges have seen a substantial surge in traffic during the same period: 200% for HTX (formerly Huobi), 185% for OKX, and 143% for Gate.io, among others.
Certain centralized exchanges, however, are not the only ones that have seen traffic increase this year; there’s also an upward trend noted in some software cryptocurrency wallets, DEXs, and other crypto services. According to data from Similarweb, MetaMask, a leading self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, has seen a 31% increase in traffic this year. Similarly, Binance’s Trust Wallet experienced a roughly 7% growth in visits. The prominent DEX Uniswap has also posted a 28% surge in website traffic this year.

Although website traffic doesn’t directly correspond to trading volumes, it can still serve as a valuable indicator of the ongoing ‘grassroots adoption,’ especially in developing countries, and sustained growth in the demand for cryptocurrency services.
The long-term ‘bullish’ momentum seems to be building right now. It takes time.
