• Bigger investors are holding more BTC and that is evident from rising whale addresses as Bitcoin price remains in the vicinity of its ATH.
  • In particular, purchases tend to occur in advance of large-prices movements, which signal confidence in the value of whales’ Bitcoin investments.
  • Increasing presence of whales may signify that important factors in the world economy have caused massive investors to turn to Bitcoin.

Despite Bitcoin hovering around it’s all-time highs (ATH), a notable increase in whale activity has been observed. Analysts have observed that so-called ‘whales’ – big holders of BTC – are on the horns of accumulating a sizeable amount of Bitcoin, which could trigger vast overhaul of bitcoin market. This, of course, is good for Bitcoin but the overall impact of this trend on the global economy is still unknown.

Whale Accumulation: A Strong Signal for Bitcoin

It is claimed that some whales account for holding large quantities of BC and impacting on tendency movements because of large purchase/sales amount. Recent charts show that they are progressing in their activity, a sign that more and more people are becoming confident with the volatility of Bitcoin future prices. Whales resulting from accumulation often do so to hold for the long term and historically, such accumulation leads to high price increases. This means that Bitcoin is possibly preparing for a significant rise.

Even though #Bitcoin is ranging around the ATH's, the activity on whales is increasing and they are buying more.

In essence: that's a great sign for #Bitcoin , but a terrible sign for the global economy.

What can we expect?

Although it may be smoother for Bitcoin to have more people aggregate more coins, it is concerning for the world’s economy. Whales having such aggressive carryings-on in assets such as Bitcoins can be seen as the lack of confidence in the traditional financial system. 

These are big investors and they might be investing in cryptocurrencies as an act of hedging because of economic unsteadiness, inflation and the fear of fiat currencies devaluation. The new buoy shows increased doubt on the future of economic and financial systems on the global market.

Predictions: Bitcoin’s Path Ahead

As the presence of whales is becoming more noticeable, some experts are claiming that in the following years Bitcoin may skyrocket reaching from $300 000 to $500 000. These numbers can be considered hypothetical; however, such a significant amount of whales indicates that many actors in the market envision significant value appreciation for the cryptocurrency. 

With whale accumulation stepping up the pace, the overall sentiment for Bitcoin seems to be increasingly bullish no matter what happens with the global economy.
