Large crypto holders are aggressively purchasing Bitcoin amid market dips, as new data from CryptoQuant shows.
In 2024, Bitcoin withdrawals from exchanges have reached unprecedented rates. Over 46,000 BTC, worth more than $2.6 billion, have been moved off exchanges on July 5, indicating a shift towards long-term holding.
This trend suggests optimism for Bitcoin’s price. Whales are betting on a future rise, even as many investors sell in panic, favoring long-term investment over short-term volatility.
Significant outflows from spot and derivatives exchanges indicate a reduction in risk exposure. Moving Bitcoin to private wallets points to a strategy focused on stability and future gains, potentially reducing market volatility.
The increased activity from whales, despite recent price drops, is a positive indicator for Bitcoin’s future. Observing these significant investors betting on a price increase is promising for the market.
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, has revealed that the company has acquired an additional 21,021 Bitcoin for approximately $2.46 billion, paying an average price of $117,256 per BTC.
As Bitcoin continues to consolidate above $100K, a critical market signal is flashing: BTC funding rates remain elevated, even as price action cools.
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has suggested that a balanced investment portfolio should include up to 15% allocation to gold or Bitcoin, though he remains personally more inclined toward the traditional asset.
With Bitcoin hovering near $119,000, traders are weighing their next move carefully. The question dominating the market now is simple: Buy the dip or wait for a cleaner setup?
