The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is nearing its all-time high (ATH), and it is likely that a new high may arrive in the coming days. Seeing this, Bitcoin whales have triggered a strong buying spree. This has injected further positive momentum into the market, with Bitcoin looking to close October with a new high for its price.
Earlier today, a massive Bitcoin transaction worth around $91 million recently exited Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. The transfer, tracked by leading crypto monitoring platform Whale Alert, saw the movement of 1,260 BTC from Binance to an unidentified crypto wallet.
Notable Bitcoin buying spree
This move by a Bitcoin whale, a term often used to describe entities holding large quantities of digital currencies, has led many to interpret it as a bullish signal. Typically, large withdrawals from trading platforms are seen as a sign of confidence among major investors. By moving funds to external wallets, these traders show a preference for long-term holding rather than frequent buying or selling, which generally shows expectations of future price rises.
Market analysts indicate that such massive Bitcoin withdrawals can positively impact BTC’s price by reducing the available supply on exchanges. This decreased supply, combined with steady or increasing demand, has the potential to push the Bitcoin price upward, as fewer coins remain available for purchase on the open market.
Bitcoin new high coming?
As of writing this article, Bitcoin has experienced a mild but steady upward trend. Over the past 24 hours, BTC has risen by 0.2%, bringing its price to $71,622.59. This gradual increase reflects ongoing market enthusiasm as traders, both large and small, maintain a bullish outlook on Bitcoin, buoyed by positive market fundamentals and recent whale activities.
Notably, Bitcoin is close to its ATH of $73,800, which was achieved back in March. Seeing the current market momentum and the bullish behavior from whales, it appears that a new high is in the cards for Bitcoin. With a resilient price and growing investor interest, Bitcoin continues to cement its role as a premier digital asset.
