About a few weeks ago, Glassnode, a notable crypto analytic company, revealed the number of Bitcoin whales (entities holding ≥ 1K BTC) that have been on an upwards trend for the past months.
This is an indication that more high-net-worth individuals are entering the space to invest in Bitcoin, in expectation of $BTC price appreciation.
- Bitcoin $BTC Reserve Risk (5d MA) just reached a 13-month high of 0.000063

What this means; from a macro level is that the increase in the number of these large entities can be considered bullish.
- At the time this report was drafted, Bitcoin was still trading around the $16,000 support levels, as investors have kept buying BTC at its support levels.
- Nairametrics believes the increased buying pressures by notable institutional investors are partly responsible for the non-dilutable crypto recent highs, while it is difficult to predict market movements. BTC whales have shown historically that they often determine the BTC trend.
