Bitcoin has shown a fairly solid rebound, climbing back above the $108,000 mark and breaking through $109,000. The chart below highlights a morning breakout through the $108,100 level.
Statistics confirm that new participants and players actively enter the market. Amid growing interest in the cryptocurrency space and Bitcoin's price volatility, analyzing whale behavior clears up the picture. According to the latest data, the number of wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC continues to grow steadily, signaling an ongoing accumulation process.
Interestingly, the data provided by CryptoQuant excludes wallets owned by miners and crypto exchanges, which allows for a more accurate assessment of independent investor behavior. Monitoring groups specializing in crypto market activity report that wallets with 1,000 to 10,000 BTC represent one of the most active whale groups. Their actions significantly impact price movements and overall market sentiment.
The accumulation of Bitcoin by these wallets likely reflects strong confidence among large holders in the long-term bullish outlook for cryptocurrency. They may view current price levels as attractive buying opportunities, betting on further price increases in the future.
The activity of these wallets deserves close attention, as large transactions made by whales can trigger short-term price swings and increase market volatility.
Intraday strategy
As for the intraday strategy in the crypto market, I plan to continue buying based on any major dips in Bitcoin and Ethereum, expecting the bullish mid-term trend to remain intact.
