Whales’ interest in Bitcoin

Additionally, Spot On Chain noted that six whales have accumulated a significant 4,046 BTC and WBTC worth $239.5 million from centralized exchanges (CEXes) this week.

However, in the last 24 hours and over the past seven days, BTC’s exchange reserves have declined by 0.37% and 0.47%, respectively.

On the other hand, due to the high volatility, the number of active addresses has dropped by 27.6% in the last 24 hours, according to the on-chain analytic firm CryptoQuant.

How is BTC faring?

At press time, Bitcoin was trading near the $58,430 level, having remained stable over the last 24 hours. Its trading volume has increased by 6% during the same period, indicating higher participation of investors.

Additionally, BTC’s Open Interest rose by 2% in the last 24 hours, signaling increased curiosity among traders during this time.

According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, BTC looked bearish, as it was trading below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily time frame.

Also, the king coin has given a breakdown of the consolidation zone between $61,800 and $58,500. Following this breakdown, there is a high possibility that BTC could fall 6.5% to the $54,6000 level in soon.
