Bitcoin Whale Activity Reaches Nine-Year High as Analysts Predict Possible Price Bottom

The movement of Bitcoin by large holders, commonly referred to as “whales,” has surged, replicating levels not seen since 2015 when the cryptocurrency was priced around $220. This surge comes amidst a stagnant cryptocurrency market.

Remarkable Spike in Bitcoin Whale Withdrawals

Recent reports indicate that Bitcoin addresses holding more than 1,000 BTC (equivalent to over $64 million) have withdrawn substantial volumes from exchanges during July, despite the market’s relatively flat performance.

• According to data from Glassnode, approximately 64,000 BTC has been moved off exchanges in the last month.
• This marks the largest outflow from whale accounts since 2015.

This significant outflow reflects a shifting trend in whale positions, with a notable increase in withdrawals since September 2015, when Bitcoin was near its last major price bottom.

As of August 1, there are now 1,651 whale addresses holding at least 1,000 BTC, a rise from 1,498 at the beginning of the year.

Is a Bitcoin Price Bottom Forming?

Some analysts speculate that Bitcoin may have established a new local bottom above the $63,000 level, previously considered a robust support point according to chart analysis.

“BTC has bottomed. It’s time for some significant upward movement.”

Additionally, the completion of a monthly bullish close above the critical price level of $61,600 has been viewed positively by market participants, suggesting a potential for future growth.

“Despite market fluctuations, BTC’s ability to stay above a key macro level is encouraging. The upcoming months appear promising.”

However, Bitcoin has faced resistance around the $70,000 mark. Analysts suggest that fluctuations in price could continue until a breakout is achieved, likely looking at a timeframe around September.

“Historical patterns suggest that significant breakouts may be unlikely immediately after major market events.”
