First, Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency, and it has cemented itself as a store of value, increasing its popularity and value. Second, many altcoins, including $OP, are based on or derived from the Bitcoin code. Third, Bitcoin has the most secure network, with a high level of decentralization and a large number of miners participating in its decentralized blockchain. Fourth, Bitcoin is the most widely recognized and accepted cryptocurrency, with a high level of liquidity, making it a natural choice for investors and traders. All of these factors contribute to Bitcoin's influence on the overall cryptocurrency market, including the price of $OP.

There have also been instances where the price of $OP has deviated from the trend set by $BTC, but overall, the two prices have remained correlated. The drop in November and hike in December seems to trace BTC, suggesting the impact of overall crypto market trend on $OP sudden volatile price action

The data is showing the number of active and inactive addresses on Optimism on a daily basis. An active address is defined as an address that has conducted at least transaction count that is higher than average transaction address per day.

Looking at the data, it seems that the number of active addresses has generally been increasing over time, while the number of inactive addresses has been decreasing. This could be a positive sign for the network, as it could indicate increasing usage and adoption.

It is worth noting that the number of "Inactive Addresses" remains much higher than the number of "Active Addresses" overall. This could potentially be due to a variety of factors, such as the use of multiple addresses by a single user or the presence of inactive or abandoned addresses on the network.

The number of unique traders, swap transactions, and volume traded of Optimism (OP) have fluctuated over the period from September 1 to October 31, 2022. On some days, there were over 2000 unique traders and over 27000 swap transactions, while on other days there were fewer than 900 unique traders and fewer than 8000 swap transactions. Similarly, the volume traded in OP varied widely, with some days seeing over 180 million OP traded and others seeing fewer than 25 million OP traded.

There is a positive correlation between the number of unique traders and the number of swap transactions, as well as between the number of swap transactions and the volume traded in OP. This suggests that as the number of unique traders increases, there is an increase in both the number of swap transactions and the volume traded in OP. Similarly, as the number of swap transactions increases, the volume traded in OP also increases.

There are several possible reasons for the fluctuations in these metrics. One possibility is that the price of OP itself has been fluctuating, which could impact the number of traders and the volume traded. Additionally, external factors such as market conditions and overall sentiment towards cryptocurrency could also impact the number of traders and the volume traded in OP

Optimism, a Layer 2 network built on top of Ethereum, has seen significant fluctuations in its native token, OP, over the past few months. In early September, the average price of OP was around $1.13, and it reached a high of $1.39 on September 10. However, the price dropped sharply in early November, falling from above $1.30 on November 6 to as low as $0.79 on November 9. In the weeks following this decrease, the price of OP began to rise, reaching $1.19 on December 14. The number of unique traders, swap transactions, and volume traded of Optimism (OP) have also fluctuated over the period from September 1 to October 31, 2022. This data, along with the number of new user addresses and average number of transactions per address, will be analyzed to determine possible reasons for the recent trend in the price of OP.

To summarize , it appears that the price of Optimism's native token, OP, was influenced by several factors including the overall trend of the cryptocurrency market, particularly the price of Bitcoin, and the level of activity on the Optimism network. The sudden drop in the price of OP in early November was likely influenced by market trends and possibly other external factors. However, the slow climb in the price of OP in the weeks following this drop may be partly attributed to increasing usage and adoption of the Optimism network, as indicated by the growth in the number of active addresses and the slight uptrend in average transactions per address. It is also worth noting that the number of unique traders, swap transactions, and volume traded of OP fluctuated over the period from September to October and November to December, potentially contributing to the volatility in the price of OP. Overall, it seems that the price of OP is influenced by a combination of market trends and activity on the Optimism network.
