Whales Push Up Bitcoin Price
CryptoQuant data reveals that whales are active again in the derivatives exchanges. Whale accumulation triggered crypto market recovery despite the Binance FUD.
On-chain analysis revealed a high flow of money to futures exchanges. The high flow indicates a period of whale accumulation and the low flow of funds is a period of whale distribution.
Typically, whale accumulation causes the BTC price to increase significantly. Whales took a buy-the-dip opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin when the price was trading under $27K. Whales have used futures exchanges to drive up Bitcoin price amid the low liquidity in the market. However, it has caused the volatility in the crypto market to likely increase.
Binance’s Spot Heatmap Thick ask liquidity is between $28K and $30K indicating upside momentum. Traders are looking for confirmations around $29K-$30K for the next move.
