Bitcoin is holding surprisingly well after the flash crash on June 2. Bulls keep defending the daily 12-EMA while Bitcoin slowly climbs higher. BTC/USD is trading at $9,660 at the time of writing, looking at the $9,887 resistance level.

A daily parallel channel has also formed recently and could hold Bitcoin inside for the next few weeks before a clear break.

Fundamentals are strong for Bitcoin

According to the most recent report by Santiment, the number of Bitcoin’s daily active addresses is growing. This metric can be deceiving as addresses will become active when Bitcoin crashes because people are looking to sell; however, it is still a good indicator if we look at the general picture.

$BTC's daily active address (unique addresses transacting on the network) continues to grow.

This is one of the most promising metrics to justify a price uptrend of an asset, and Bitcoin is getting close to its 6-month high of ~1.01M DAA in early May. https://t.co/XUdriBVPeR pic.twitter.com/UtvihuoDzq

Additionally, Grayscale, a massive Bitcoin trust fund, has accumulated over 28,000 BTC since the halving. Almost 10,000 Bitcoin just last week according to recent statistics.

Another massive week for Grayscale.

Grayscale added 9,503 BTC to their Bitcoin Trust since last week (28,413 BTC since the halving).

Bitcoin miners only produced 6,863 BTC since last week (19,200 BTC since halving).
