Bitcoin News: Whale Accumulations Soar

According to data by Spot On chain, the whale address 12QVs bagged 1300 BTC, worth $85.6 million, from Binance today, July 31. Overall, this address has bagged 5,800 BTC, worth $388 million, from the same CEX over the past two days. This massive accumulation underscores the large-scale investor’s immense confidence in the asset’s future potential.

Meanwhile, the whale’s purchase comes amid Mt. Gox‘s alarming transfers, which bring further pressure to the BTC price. Intriguingly, Bitcoin whales appear to have taken the opportunity to buy the dip, as the flagship crypto faces the heat of the fallen exchange’s creditor repayment plans.

Additionally, recent data by Whale Alert spotlighted hundreds of millions worth of BTC accumulated over the past day. Collectively, these massive accumulations have ignited market optimism for BTC.

On the other hand, data by Glassnode showed that BTC miners neared profitability again, hinting a capitulation end is imminent. The block production cost stands at $69,500, whereas the coin’s market price is approaching $66,300. This adds to the bullishness surrounding the coin, staging as optimistic Bitcoin news across the broader market.

BTC Market Performance

In the interim, BTC price rested at $66,288.31, down 0.89% in the past 24 hours. Its 24-hour bottoms and highs were recorded as $65,323.19 and $66,978.55, respectively. This waning trajectory falls in line with nearly $18 million in outflows in Bitcoin ETFs. However, the broader market sentiments remain optimistic.

Crypto market analyst Ali Martinez’s recent X post reveals that the BTC chart presented a buy signal. This further aligns with the abovementioned accumulations, indicating a potential rebound if BTC can sustain $66,300.

Further buying, as in the one mentioned above, could see BTC price making further gains. However, the looming U.S. FOMC meeting has added a layer of intrigue to the matter. Notably, the Federal Reserve is expected to carry on with the current interest rate in the upcoming meeting. However, it’s worth mentioning that September rate cut odds stand at 100%.
