Bitcoin price '' in the range of $29,000 - $29,300 after yesterday's dynamic declines. At the same time, the latest analysis of Glassnode's on-chain data indicates that the largest addresses (above 1,000 BTC) are likely to sell (distribute) BTC. Interestingly, the structure of Bitcoin's recent price chart somewhat resembles Wyckoff's distribution pattern.
- According to Glassnode, the bulk of the whales are now short-term addresses
- Whales are responsible for more than 40% of all BTC inflows to exchanges
- As of 2021, the total amount of BTC held by whale addresses has dropped from 63% to 46%
- Whales holding between 10,000 and 100,000 BTC sold nearly 50,000 BTC in the last month with a slight increase in the balance of smaller addresses and the largest, over 100,000 BTC
- Glassnode does not rule out that much of the whale activity has to do with internal BTC movements between the wallets of the largest addresses.
