After the long and painful cryptocurrency market downturn in April and June that sent the king coin, Bitcoinand the leading altcoin, ether Bulls regained strength in July chasing shocking lows.
With the price still a long way from its all-time high set in November 2021, Bitcoin grew by over 18% in 31 days. ETH closed the month at an index price of $1680, also up 54%.
The blockchain analysis platform Santiment in its latest report noted that two leading cryptocurrencies made significant on-chain advances within the 31-day period.
July 2022: BTC and ETH
Since the start of the bear market, as the year kicked off and BTC and ETH began to stray further from their all-time highs, sentiment among the trading crowd has been negative, according to analytics firm Santiment.
However, when the prices of these assets corrected in July, trader confidence was restored, with Santiment noting that traders now believe that “prices can continue to rise organically after an impressive July”.

Key stakeholders reportedly became increasingly skeptical about the coin’s accumulation over the past six months as the king coin’s price fell.
The reason for this could be due to “inflation fears or further rate hikes in September (after the last one was announced last week), easing Covid concerns or ongoing wars in Ukraine”.
Additionally, key stakeholders holding 100 to 10,000 BTC have let loose 2.26% of BTC supply over the past six months, Santiment reported.
Socially, Bitcoin’s social dominance peaked in July. According to Santiment, the downturn in the market has “woken up traders and caused them to move away from their bullshit coins and back into the relatively safe haven Bitcoin.”
Hence the growth of social dominance. A look at ETH also revealed the same growth pattern of its societal dominance over the same period.

Furthermore, within the 31-day period, Santiment found that on July 26, the ETH network recorded an index of 1.06 million daily active addresses. It was at an all-time high.
As for BTC, the highest number of daily active addresses in July was 994,000 registered on July 19.

Finally, Santiment revealed that ETH became “extremely cheap to move” in July. This was a consequence of the decline in Ethereum’s circulation since the beginning of the year.
In July, transaction costs in the ETH network fell significantly. This made it cheaper to move coins.
