<p>While the Bitcoin price flirts around $42,500 level, the Bitcoin blockchain witnesses strong network activity. Thanks to the surge in <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-btc-and-ethereum-eth-rally-boosts-nft-market-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFT sales</a> happening in 2023 on the Bitcoin blockchain.</p> 
<h3 id="nft-sales-surge-on-bitcoin-blockchain">NFT Sales Surge on Bitcoin Blockchain</h3> 
<p>According to data from Cryptoslam, the month of December 2023 witnessed an unprecedented surge in Non-Fungible Token (NFT) sales on the Bitcoin blockchain, reaching an astounding total of $881,223,753.92. This staggering figure represents the highest single-month sales record for NFTs to date.</p> 
<p>The <a href="https://www.cryptoslam.io/blockchains/bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> reveals notable milestones, with a record-breaking 111,713 buyer addresses participating in NFT transactions on the Bitcoin chain during December. Simultaneously, the number of seller addresses also soared to new heights, totaling 98,744, marking the highest number of sellers in a single month.</p> 
<p>The surge in NFT sales on the Bitcoin blockchain highlights the growing popularity and adoption of digital assets, as both buyers and sellers actively engage in the decentralized and vibrant NFT marketplace. These remarkable figures underscore the robust activity within the crypto space, setting the stage for continued growth and innovation in the world of blockchain-based assets.</p> 
<h3 id="btc-price-action-in-january">BTC Price Action in January</h3> 
<p>Everyone is eagerly waiting for the spot Bitcoin ETF approval by the U.S. SEC and it <a href="https://coingape.com/just-in-report-indicates-sec-might-contact-bitcoin-etf-applicants-early-next-week/?utm_source=24hrsupdateall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could arrive</a> tentatively this week itself. However, the Bitcoin options data for January shows weakness and market analysts also believe that the <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-etf-approval-news-wont-lead-to-crypto-market-rally-as-per-options-data/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">upside remains capped</a> for Bitcoin.</p> 
<p>Usually, a strong BTC performance in the last quarter of the year follows with a correction in January. There are high chances that history can repeat itself this year as well.</p>

 <p>In the last two instances, a strong <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$BTC</a> performance in September, October, November, and December was followed by a bearish January.

<p>Renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez provides insights into Bitcoin’s current position, emphasizing the significance of two critical supply zones that could shape the cryptocurrency’s near-term trajectory.</p> 
<ul> 
 <li>Support Zone: Bitcoin finds solid support in the range of $41,200 to $42,400, backed by a substantial 1.92 million addresses collectively holding 723,500 BTC.</li> 
 <li>Resistance Zone: A key hurdle lies between $42,500 and $43,750, with 1.67 million addresses holding a significant 706,400 BTC, forming a formidable resistance zone.</li> 
</ul> 
<p>Martinez <a href="https://twitter.com/ali_charts/status/1741435134107136425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggests</a> that a sustained close beyond these crucial boundaries will play a pivotal role in determining Bitcoin’s trend. Should the BTC price successfully break above the resistance zone, it might propel the leading cryptocurrency toward the $47,600 mark. Conversely, a dip below the established support could trigger a correction, potentially leading BTC to retest the $38,600 level.</p>
