According to an analyst's post on X, it has been suggested that BTC whales are taking advantage of the current decline in asset prices to accumulate more. This observation is based on the total count of Bitcoin entities holding a minimum balance of 1,000 BTC, which serves as a significant indicator in this context.
Presented is a chart illustrating the recent trend in the quantity of Bitcoin entities holding 1,000 BTC or more over the past few months:
Investors of such magnitude are commonly referred to as 'whales'. Due to their substantial holdings, these investors can wield influence in the market, making their actions significant to monitor.
According to the chart, there has been a general upward trend in the total count of Bitcoin whales over the past few months. However, during November, when BTC experienced a plateau, the indicator showed a decrease, indicating that a significant number of whales had likely exited the market.
Towards the end of the month, a notable surge in the total number of new whale entities was observed on the network. As depicted in the graph, this increase coincided with Bitcoin's rally towards the $44,000 level.
During the consolidation phase of BTC at these high levels, the whale entities remained relatively stable. However, as the cryptocurrency experienced a significant decline recently, an increase in the number of whales has been observed on the blockchain.
It seems that while other investors may be panicking about the drawdown, the larger institutional investors view it as a potential opportunity for accumulation.
The buying activity from whales does not guarantee a turnaround for the asset. However, given the previous pattern observed, this buying behavior from the cohort can be viewed as an optimistic sign.
Despite attempts at recovery, Bitcoin has faced challenges in finding sustained success. The asset's current trajectory suggests a potential decline once again.
