Bitcoin whales continue to impact BTC amidst 1K token move

• Bitcoin could rally up to the $62,000 level, based on historical price momentum.
• BTC exchange reserve data showed potential buying pressure from investors, as it has significantly fallen in recent days.

In this bearish market sentiment, crypto whales were aggressively buying the dip as major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH], saw significant price declines.

On the 2nd of September, on-chain analytic firm Spot On Chain made a post on X (formerly Twitter) that a Bitcoin whale had purchased nearly 1,000 BTC worth $57.4 million from Binance [BNB].

Additionally, the same whale had purchased nearly 2,000 BTC worth $117 million, from Binance in the last four days at an average price of $58,525.

With the recent purchase, the whales’ Bitcoin holding increased to 8,559 BTC worth $494 million. 

Previously, the whale had dumped a massive 7,790 BTC worth $467 million of BTC in July 2024, before the market sentiment turned bearish.

In this market downturn, whenever BTC reaches this level, it experiences buying pressure and an upward rally. There is high speculation of an upside rally up to the $62,000 level this time.

Additionally, the technical indicator Relative Strength Index (RSI) was in an oversold area, indicating potential price reversal, which is a positive sign for investors and traders.

Other on-chain data also supported this bullish outlook. CryptoQuant’s BTC exchange reserve data showed potential buying pressure from investors, as the exchange reserve has significantly fallen in recent days.
