Data: Whale addresses holding 100-1,000 Bitcoins have increased their holdings by more than 20,000 BTCs in the past two days
Odaily News According to the latest data from Santiment, an on-chain analysis company, after a month-long sell-off period, whale addresses holding 100-1,000 bitcoins increased their holdings by 20,007 bitcoins in the past two days. This shows that these whales are confident in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects and see the current dip as a buying opportunity.

This is not true for all whale addresses, and some may have different trading strategies or motivations. For example, there are also whale addresses holding more than 1,000 Bitcoins that have been selling rather than buying recently, possibly to take profits or rebalance their portfolios. Additionally, some whales may be institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals who access OTC markets or derivatives that are not reflected in on-chain data.

Still, the trend of whales accumulating in the lower range of Bitcoin holdings could indicate that some retail investors or small-scale traders are buying the dip. This may provide some support for the price and prevent it from falling further. (Zycrypto)
