Bitcoin Whale Holdings Hit All-Time High, Is the BTC Correction Over?

The BTC price has bounced back above $68,000 after taking strong support at $65,500 earlier today with the Bitcoin whale holdings hitting a new all-time high. In the past two weeks, the number of whale wallets holding over 100 BTC has increased by 297—a notable milestone in such a short time. This growth reflects rising confidence in the asset class and suggests that the BTC correction may be over.

Bitcoin Whale Wallets on the Rise

The Bitcoin whale holdings have reached an all-time high as this cohort holds more than 670,000 BTC. This development can usher in a fresh wave of optimism in the market, particularly among Bitcoin investors.

Crypto analytics platform CrypoQuant stated that whenever the BTC whale holdings turn positive, the BTC price usually sees a moderate fall or tends to move sideways. It noted that this represents the calm before the storm about to arrive in the medium to long term. CryptoQuant added:

“The real surge in Bitcoin growth begins after whales gradually reduce their holdings until they reach negative percentage change values”.

Another platform Santiment confirmed that 297 new Bitcoin whale wallets, with over 100 BTC, popped up in the last two weeks, and the amount of wallets with under 100 BTC has shrunk by 20,629 wallets. with the largest holders consolidating their holdings after the dumping and panic sell-off from retail traders, it usually leads to bullish outcomes.

On the other hand, the ETF inflows have been solid with BlackRock Bitcoin ETF leading the pack. BlackRock’s IBIT has stacked nearly 30,000 Bitcoin in nine consecutive trading sessions. Thus, it now holds over 2% of the BTC circulating supply with 399,355 BTC in its kitty.

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) now holds over 2% of the $BTC circulating supply.

Notably, #BlackRock has been buying #Bitcoin for 9 consecutive trading days, totaling 29,714 $BTC ($1.99B).

Is the BTC Correction Behind Us?

Following the Bitcoin price rejection at $69,000 once again, retail investors have turned cautious over the next BTC move. Although the Bitcoin price is regaining the lost ground, it still needs to cross past $69,000 to sustain the uptrend.

Despite the positive development of the rising Bitcoin whale wallets, CryptoQuant has a caution for investors. they noted that if Bitcoin’s price fails to set a new all-time high around the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, by November 28 ±21 days, it could signal significant issues with the current bull cycle.

Another crypto analyst Justin Bennett explained three pointers with the current price action. He stated that when Bitcoin is seriously bullish, it rarely offers resets, unlike now.

Everyone is talking about this $BTC "breakout," but there are three problems here. ✍️

1⃣ This trend line is cutting off candle bodies.

2⃣ Trend lines are subjective and open to confirmation bias (hence the first problem).
