Past Effect of Bitcoin Whale Activities

Bitcoin Whales are the set of people with a huge sum of BTC in their wallets. Virtually all cryptocurrency enthusiasts believe that this minority owns and controls the market due to the amount of Bitcoin in their possessions.

There are times in which their activities look suspicious. For instance, sometimes in 2019, when Bitcoin started regaining surging momentum before recording its 2019 all-time high of relatively $13,900.

Back then, BTC was priced around $8,500, and the crypto enthusiasts were already anticipating for a record price. Afterward, it took Bitcoin a few minutes to downtrend to $7,000 price region after a so-called Bitcoin Whales moved a huge sum of BTC to an exchange.

Many crypto enthusiasts found the transfer manipulative due to its format. The transaction was allegedly preplanned for profits.

The price downtrend took a few minutes and lasted for about 6 hours, after which the same whale ordered the buyback of the same amount of BTC from the exchange to another wallet.

This action alone returned Bitcoin price back to around $8,500 price region. So, the Bitcoin Whale reportedly made relatively $10 million in a very short interval.

The above illustration reveals the impact of Bitcoin Whales in the crypto market. Could we conclude that they control the cryptocurrency market? Maybe.

Bitcoin (BTC) in the Market

24 hours ago, Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was priced above $10,000 resistance level.

Back then, its price trend was signaling further uptrend, but such hope faltered in a matter of minutes after a determined bear dominated the market.

This also affected the majority of other digital currencies. At the time of filing this report, BTC is trading at $9,899.87, with a 2.6% price downtrend based on 24 hours estimation.
