Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez has revealed that Bitcoin whales have purchased over 20,000 BTC since the cryptocurrency’s price fell below $88,000 on February 24. This accumulation signals robust buy-side interest at these levels ass big players chip in to accumulate heavily.
Furthermore, analyst Martinez also pointed out the Bitcoin risk metrics i.e. Sharpe ratio, that provides risk-adjusted returns, which typically resets to a “Low Risk” zone after reaching “High Risk”.
Martinez noted that this dynamic provides an opportune moment for investors to prepare for a potential “buy-the-dip” scenario as the market stabilizes. Thus, at the current levels, investors are making a strategic accumulation of BTC positioning themselves for future gains.
