Bitcoin Surges to $67,700, Whales Accumulate Amid Market Optimism

• Bitcoin peaks at $67,700, up 10.33% in a week.
• Whale purchases 255 Bitcoins, portfolio now worth nearly $986 million.
• Bitcoin’s market dominance slightly increases to 54.37%.

This week witnessed a resurgence of Bitcoin enthusiasts, catching numerous investors off guard as the cryptocurrency had been experiencing a decline since the beginning of the month. Just yesterday, Bitcoin reached a peak not seen in five weeks, touching $67,700. Over the previous seven days, its value has jumped by 10.33%, and it has seen a 4% rise over the course of the month. Trading volumes have also increased by 37%.

The uptick in Bitcoin’s value can be attributed to positive inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. The growing interest from major corporations in Bitcoin ETFs has also played a role. Concerns about potential sell-offs during Bitcoin’s halving events are diminishing.

Activities of large-scale Bitcoin holders, or “whales,” have been influential as well. Recent analyses have pointed out significant movements by these whales, who are accumulating more Bitcoin even as its price climbs. One notable whale, with the wallet address “15cHR…cnHxv,” purchased 255 Bitcoins at an average price of around $65,116 each.

Following these purchases, this whale’s Bitcoin portfolio has grown to approximately 23.09K, translating to a profit close to $986 million.

Two other noteworthy transactions have also occurred. The wallet with the address “33ds4…Q1yCc” transferred 2,400 Bitcoins away from the Coinbase platform. At the same time, another whale, with the wallet address “bc1qv…m4jpf,” moved 770 Bitcoins out of Gemini.

Bitcoin’s price currently stands at $67,130.69, having experienced a slight increase of 0.01%. Bitcoin’s market dominance is at 54.37%, marking a slight rise of 0.03% within a day. The market is sluggish, with the global cryptocurrency market capitalization at $2.43 trillion, a 0.07% decline from the previous day.

Is Bitcoin Going to Reach $69,000?

The daily trading chart indicates that Bitcoin is exhibiting a bullish pattern, with the 9-day Exponential Moving Average positioned at $65,376. The daily Relative Strength Index stands at 58, suggesting a state of equilibrium.

Should Bitcoin proponents’ upward momentum persist, we could see its value ascend to $68,321 and potentially further to $69,094. Conversely, if the market experiences a downturn led by sellers, the price could decline to $64,654 or even to a lower support mark at $59,529.
