Bitcoin Holders Moving Big: Number Of Whale Wallets Reaches Highest Count In 15 Months

Bitcoin, the largest crypto asset, is currently at a standstill from the viewpoint of many investors considering current market factors. The crypto mostly traded between $41,000 and $45,500 last week after recovering from a brief dip below $40,000 on January 23. Although the price action has been underwhelming, on-chain data indicates that large holders have been adding more to their wallets, bringing the total number of wallets to the highest it has been in 15 months. At the same time, the holding pattern indicates smaller whales have been adding to their holdings to join the next tier of holders.

According to on-chain analytics platform Santiment, the number of Bitcoin addresses holding between 1,000-10,000 BTC, saw an increase of 47 more wallets representing a 2.5% growth, in six days. Consequently, the number of addresses in this tier reached 1,958 on February 1st, its highest point since November 2022. 🐳 #Bitcoin is ranging between $41K and $44K, but whale wallets are moving big this week: 🔴 Number of 1K-10K $BTC Wallets: 1,958 on Feb. 1st (Most since November, 2022) 🟡 Number of 100-1K $BTC Wallets: 13,735 on Feb. 1st (Least since November, 2022)https://t.co/MTOnjURnfV pic.twitter.com/QrxW8CH5c2 — Santiment (@santimentfeed) February 3, 2024 Furthermore, Santiment data showed the decline of wallet addresses in the tier below.

The accumulation by a vast number of large holders points to continued faith in the crypto despite the current consolidation, but whale accumulation is only one of many market factors that influence the crypto’s price. Bitcoin’s price trajectory might look unclear at the moment, but the macro outlook points to a positive movement on the fundamental side of things. One of these is the recent capital flows of $1.7 billion into Bitcoin spot ETFs in the past 14 days.

The analyst noted a resistance at $48,000, to $50,000, and another correction towards $36,000 to $38,000. My general theory is that #Bitcoin is consolidating in the coming months. Pre-Halving a final run towards resistance at $48-50K, after that another correction to $36-38K and from there #Altcoins to continue outperforming Bitcoin. pic.twitter.com/sYiqpg3T93 — Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) February 3, 2024 In a different perspective, Justin Bennett, another popular crypto analyst on social media, predicted a bearish Bitcoin in the near future. According to him, Tether’s dominance chart suggests a further BTC decline to around $30,000. This price range coincides with analyst PlanB’s absolute Bitcoin price floor of $31,000. Bitcoin 200 week moving average is 31k. When bitcoin price diverges from 200WMA, in accumulation (blue) and bull markets (orange/red), bitcoin has never gone below 200WMA. So 31k might be the absolute floor, and bitcoin might never see 31k ever again IMO. Also 200WMA is rising… pic.twitter.com/3kqSbXWLjU — PlanB (@100trillionUSD) February 3, 2024 Bitcoin is trading at $42,909 at the time of writing.
