Photo by New Whales Emerge: A Cryptocurrency Market Shift
In an unexpected turn of events, cryptocurrency whales are stacking up on Bitcoin (BTC) like never before. This surge in accumulation signals a pivotal moment in the market, as noted by Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant.
Ju has shared with his impressive following on X that the current behavior of these crypto giants is unprecedented. His research points to a significant rise in new whale entities engaging in aggressive buying, while older whales are opting for a more cautious approach.
“Look at how fiercely the new whales are stacking Bitcoin; this market has never seen such accumulation.”
According to Ju, the recent price correction from around $67,000 to approximately $61,000 can be attributed more to manipulative plays within the futures market rather than a genuine cooling in demand. He emphasizes the distinctive behavior of real whales, stating that “ Real whales move the market through spot trading and OTC markets. That’s why on-chain data is crucial. The older whales haven’t seen particularly high returns, and the whales who entered this recent bull run have barely made any profits. They are unlikely to dump on exchanges until liquidity from retail investors starts flowing in.”
In prior market cycles, new whales realizing profits has typically signaled peaks in Bitcoin prices. However, Ju observes that this time around, new whale wallets—particularly those linked to custodial services and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)—have yet to see substantial profit levels.
“The new whale wallets have not yet generated sufficient profit.”
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $61,987, demonstrating the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market. The presence of new whales stacking BTC could imply upcoming developments that may significantly influence price trends.
As the cryptocurrency sector evolves, the behaviors exhibited by these whales might offer critical insights into market trends. Investors are encouraged to keep their eyes peeled for forthcoming shifts, especially regarding how these whales respond as retail investors begin to interact more robustly with the market again.
