As seen above, Bitcoin recorded 5,095 whale transactions worth at least $1 million each on November 12. This represents a 396% increase from the monthly low of 1,026 whale transactions recorded on November 2.
When a spike in whale transactions coincides with a price uptick as observed in the Bitcoin markets this week, strategic investors often interpret this as a bullish signal for two main reasons.
- Increased Institutional Confidence: A surge in large transactions suggests that sophisticate institutional or high-net-worth investors are accumulating Bitcoin. Trump’s latest statements may have boosted Bitcoin’s appeal among institutional investors, possibly as a hedge against traditional markets. If whale activity remains elevated, Bitcoin could experience continued upward momentum.
- Sell-pressure Absorption: When whales execute large volume orders during a rally, the they absorb sell-side pressure from short-term traders booking profits. This absorption effect often tightens short-term supply dynamics, consequently intensifying the upward price volatility.
In summary, the correlation between Trump’s latest statements and the 400% surge in whale demand, suggests the D.O.G.E proposal may have boosted Bitcoin’s appeal among corporate investors.
If whale activity remains elevated, Bitcoin price rally could potentially rise toward $100,000 in the days ahead.
