Bitcoin (BTC) New Address Count Surges 12% In One Day. Bullish Sign?

As reported by the service, the three-day MA of new addresses surged 11.7% in the past 24 hours. Still, the Bitcoin (BTC) network is nowhere near its most active days.

Is rapid growth a bullish indicator?

Some analysts treat sharp positive movements in the Bitcoin (BTC) network as a harbinger of future price growth. For example, the last Bitcoin (BTC) bullish run, in February of 2020, coincided with the number of new ATH non-zero addresses.  

$BTC addresses with non-zero balances are at an all time high. What's more surprising is that we are even higher than when we near $20,000. Hard to not be bullish on this kind of distribution and adoption. @glassnode pic.twitter.com/bNvt78C5rD
