open disclosure by Axel Adler Jr. of CryptoQuant, investors holding

Back Whale Appetite Grows Over the past six months, they
accumulated about 1.5 million BTC, representing a massive inflow of
capital worth approximately $90 billion at an average price of
$60,000. However, these tokens came from weaker hands that sold at
a loss. 1.5M BTC has been accumulated by whales (with >1K BTC on
balance) over the last 6 months. There’s really nothing to discuss
here. pic.twitter.com/7cAVWVEK15 — Axel 💎🙌 Adler Jr (@AxelAdlerJr)
October 10, 2024 Data shows significant growth among whales, who
held only 335,000 BTC in early May when Bitcoin traded between
$60,000 and $65,000. While prices remained in that range, whales
continued to accumulate, and now hold around 1.9 million BTC,
indicating strong short-term confidence among high-net-worth
investors. Netflow Metrics Of Large Holders Recent data shows that
accumulation sprees haven’t cooled off, despite recent price
corrections. For example, yesterday, BTC fell below $59K for the
first time this month, leading to massive liquidations. Don’t
believe that whales accumulated 1.5M BTC and wonder where they got
it from? How about taking a look at the loss-making sales on
exchanges? In the last 24 hours, 24.1K BTC were sold at a loss.

October 11, 2024 Yet, large holders, who account for 0.1% of the
circulating supply, netted +629 BTC yesterday. Two days ago, this
figure was even higher, with an influx of 2,480 BTC. Furthermore,
CryptoQuant statistics indicate that Bitcoin’s exchange reserve has
fallen from 2.576 million tokens at the start of October to 2.571
million tokens, reflecting ongoing accumulation. Price Prediction
And Market Implications As of this writing, Bitcoin was pegged at
$61,690 having lost 1.68% for the week. DMI had +DI standing at
18.3 with -DI placed at 23.3, which were a couple of points above
but declining continuously. Related Reading: Baby Doge Coin Rockets

despite the relentless selling pressures, they are somewhat weak.
As it currently stands at -40.74, Williams %R is on the neutral
side. From this, Bitcoin might get stuck in this range until strong
buying or selling pressure will come up. Experienced analyst Peter
Brandt holds that Bitcoins will reach an all-time high of $150,000
for this cycle but warns that inability to break out of the current
range will cause the price to shatter and will go way down, 75% at
worst. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
