Last updated: May 25, 2024 04:24 EDT | 2 minutes reading
Bitcoin whales, large holders of the cryptocurrency, have shown a greater appetite for accumulating more coins, signaling a return of confidence in the bull market, according to blockchain data.
The resurgence of whale activity comes after the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high in March and subsequently suffered a significant market correction.
Market intelligence company CryptoQuant Featured the strong buying strength displayed by whales, indicating their belief that current prices are favorable for purchasing and accumulating Bitcoin despite prevailing fear and market uncertainty.
Analysts pointed to the increase in the 30-day percentage change in whale address holdings, along with an increase in the total balance of BTC held by whales.
Whales Buy Bitcoin Aggressively During Bull Markets
Whales, defined as owners of Bitcoin addresses that hold between 1,000 BTC and 10,000 BTC (excluding mining companies and cryptocurrency exchanges), tend to buy Bitcoin more aggressively during bull markets and reduce their buying activity during bull markets. bear markets.
Throughout March, whales increased their BTC holdings by over 9.8%. Although its accumulation rate slowed in April to 4.2% on May 1, coinciding with Bitcoin’s price decline of over 20% to below $57,000, the metric has now recovered to 5.5% on May 22nd.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju previously noted that whales acquired 47,000 BTC during the sharp market crash in early May, further indicating his confidence in the asset’s long-term prospects.
The amount of money invested by whales in Bitcoin has grown significantly from US$57 billion to US$122 billion since the beginning of the year, as observed through the “realized cap” metric, which considers the total value of all coins held by whales. based on your purchase. time rather than current market value.
The price of Bitcoin recently rose to $68,760, marking a 3% increase over the week and reflecting renewed market optimism.
Glassnode lead analyst James Check emphasized that the Bitcoin network’s total realized cap has reached a record $578 billion, underscoring the cryptocurrency’s robust fundamentals.
However, Check believes that the market is still far from entering the true euphoric phase of the bull market, suggesting that current sentiment lies somewhere between enthusiasm and excitement.

Here’s the next target for BTC before bulls can hold out for $70K
Bitcoin’s recovery is going well, and the market is seemingly poised to create a new all-time high in the near term.
Technical analysis
Per NegotiationRage
The daily chart
As the daily chart shows, the price of Bitcoin has been rising since it broke above the 200-day moving average.
The market has also reclaimed the $60K and $65K levels and is moving towards the $68K resistance zone, which could be the last hurdle before creating a new all-time high. With the RSI also indicating that the price has clear bullish momentum, it could be just a matter of time.
The 4-hour chart
Looking at the 4-hour chart, it is evident that the price has been rising rapidly since breaking the downtrend line to the upside. The market also broke the $65K resistance level with momentum, turning it into a support.
While almost everything points to a new record high in the coming weeks, there is one worrying sign. The RSI is showing a clear bearish divergence between recent price highs, which could indicate a correction or even a reversal in the near term.
