This is the first purchase made by the aforementioned whale in 1.5 years. 

The leading cryptocurrency is currently changing hands at $65,722 on the Bitstamp exchange after adding 0.9% over the past 24 hours. 

Bitcoin fatigue 

According to cryptocurrency analytics firm Santiment, the Bitcoin crowd is currently in a state of fear or disinterest.  

As noted by the firm, such a level of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) is considered to be "rare" since it seems like the Bitcoin trading community has reached the capitulation stage. 

The firm has added that such periods of fatigue are usually followed by price bounces. 

At the same time, it is worth noting that Bitcoin is just 11% away from its current all-time high, meaning that it is far from the bear market territory.
