As a part of Messari's 2024 Cryptocurrency Thesis, the platform highlights the growth and impact of BRC-20, Ordinals, and Inscriptions. These new transaction forms, along with Tem and Runes, have surged this year, flooding the Bitcoin mempool and causing a notable spike in transaction fees. According to the thesis, engravings alone accounted for approximately 21% of total transaction fees in 2023, based on data available as of December 10.
Bitcoin's price remains relatively stagnant over the past month, currently trading at $42,598. At this juncture, BTC shows no clear signs of upward or downward movement, likely to sustain consolidation within the range of $42,069 to $44,006.
If Bitcoin manages to breach the resistance at the upper end of the range, a bullish breakout could occur, pushing BTC beyond $45,000. However, should BTC fall below the support level of $42,000, a correction might lead it down to $40,000, testing the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $42,000.
The market outlook for Bitcoin in 2024 is influenced not only by existing factors but also by emerging trends and transaction methods, as detailed in Messari's comprehensive thesis on the cryptocurrency landscape. Investors are keenly watching for potential breakthroughs and developments that could shape the trajectory of Bitcoin in the coming year.
