Whale Population Growth
Bitcoin has surpassed $67,000 as data shows a growing number of whales on the network. Whales, or entities holding at least 1,000 BTC, have been accumulating. This suggests increased buying activity in the market.
Correlation with Price
Analysts have observed a correlation between the number of whales and Bitcoin’s price. As the whale population grows, the price tends to surge. This indicates that whales may be driving the rallies.
ETFs and Whale Activity
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also qualify as whales. However, recent data shows that Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) has been selling BTC, while other ETFs have been buying. This net selling has contributed to a negative change in ETF holdings.
Current Market Status
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $67,000, up 25% in the past week. The growing whale population and continued demand suggest that the rally may continue. However, a turnaround in whale activity could signal a bearish trend.
