Bitcoin Price Prediction Shark and Whale Addresses Accumulate $1.17 Billion – Bull Run Activates?

Bitcoin price blasted above $28,000 for the first time since August as investors embraced news surrounding Ethereum futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) approvals. The largest cryptocurrency sustained the bullish outlook from Friday, ignoring the US Securities and Exchange’s (SEC) decision to delay its verdict on several spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Several seller congestion areas threatened the uptrend, including $27,000, $27,500, and $28,000 but BTC continues to uphold the bullish outlook bolstered by growing interest among large volume holders, also called whales.

Bitcoin Whales Increase Exposure to BTC

According to the latest on-chain insights from Santiment, whales have been increasing their Bitcoin holdings as the technical structure improves. Addresses with between 10 and 10,000 BTC have accumulated a combined $1.17 billion since September 1.

If this interest in Bitcoin continues, a return to $30,000 is highly likely. However, these gains could also hamper the uptrend if the same whales start dumping to book early profits.

How High Can Bitcoin Price Go – Short-Term Analysis

Bitcoin price upholds support at $28,000 while trading at $28,300. A break and hold above the immediate resistance at $28,400 are required to keep traders interested in keeping their long positions open while gazing upon a potential breakout above $30,000.

The SuperTrend indicator on the four-hour chart shows that buyers are holding the reins, hence Bitcoin has a higher chance of closing in on $30,000 than dropping to $25,000. This indicator sends a bullish signal when it flips to trail BTC price, which changes the color from red to green.

According to crypto trader and analyst Rekt Capital “Bitcoin needs to rally higher & break its Lower High to completely invalidate this Bearish Bitcoin Fractal.” As discussed recently, a fractal is a pattern that allows Bitcoin price to climb to a certain level, before retracing and climbing again.

This pattern forms both a bullish and bearish fractal, where a bearish fractal hints at a reversal as shown on the chart below. Therefore, for Bitcoin price to invalidate the bearish fractal, it must break above resistance at $28,400.

It is worth mentioning that Bitcoin has also broken above three bull market indicators, including the 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (red), the 100-week EMA (blue), and the 200-week EMA (purple).

According to Rekt Capital, a bull run is likely to stem from trading above the three moving averages.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is about to send a buy signal on the weekly chart. As the blue MACD line crosses above the red signal more traders and investors would be willing to buy BTC thus creating the necessary momentum for a breakout above $30,000 and eventually aligning with the bull run.

With the halving expected in April 2024 and a spot Bitcoin ETF approval on the horizon, selling pressure may be greatly reduced because investors are likely to overlook short-term profits in favor of waiting for bigger gains in the bull run.
