Since 2017, the behaviour of crypto whales (the richest wallets of the whole blockchain) has been analyzed as an indicator of a possible bearish or bullish reversal. The Token Analyst research team has used utilized automated bots for such monitoring.

Bitcoin (BTC) Dumped?

Yesterday, a whale moved $39 million to the Poloniex crypto exchange. The unknown Bitcoin (BTC) wallet transferred an enormous sum of almost 5000 BTC to the exchange-based wallet.

This influx is far from the main Bitcoin transactions since $1B was transferred from Huobi five month ago. The most interesting in this fact is that this inflow is two orders of magnitude higher than the average daily inflow for Poloniex. That's why the analysts reported this transaction as suspicious.

Every Day They Are Shuffling

Token Analyst suggested that this move is a sign of some internal rearrangement of tokens in the Poloniex funds. Last year it was discovered that such operations are used by numerous exchanges for inflation of their trading volumes.
