The new whales’ initial investment in Bitcoin are almost twice the old whales’ cumulative total, said CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju. Long-term holders are taking profits and the likelihood of long-term investors capitalizing on price ascents to realize profits is high enough as more number of wallets are in profit.
“A reason could be that futures traders have become uncertain about the upside in the current environment,” stated Matrixport. CME BTC Futures Open Interest fell over 1% in the past 24 hours, with a selling seen in the last few hours, as per Coinglass data.
BTC price is consolidating near $66,000 as expected, with the price currently trading at $66,009. The 24-hour low and high are $65,705 and $67,233, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has decreased slightly in the last 24 hours.
