Could it propel Bitcoin’s price to a breakout above the $70,000 mark?Bitcoin whale accumulation reached 2020 levels


Bitcoin accumulation by whales, or entities holding at least 1,000 BTC, has hit a nearly four-year high last seen during 2020, according to a Bitfinex research report shared with Cointelegraph.


Referencing the chart below, the Bitfinex analysts wrote:“Adding another layer to this bullish sentiment, Bitcoin ‘whales’ are also accumulating Bitcoin at a pace reminiscent of the pre-2020 bull run. This accumulation, now at its highest in the last two months, has led to a new historical high in their Bitcoin balance.”Bitcoin Total Whale Holdings and Monthly Percent Change Source: CryptoQuant


Factors like an anticipated interest rate cut and increased institutional buying could lead to more upward momentum for Bitcoin, according to Bitfinex analysts:“Looking forward, several factors could potentially reignite Bitcoin’s upward trajectory. These include an increase in average daily ETF buying activity, a reduction in selling pressure from long-term holders, and a rise in liquidity, which could be triggered by the anticipated rate cut.”


On June 10, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States recorded their first day of net outflows in over 19 consecutive trading days. The 10 U.S. ETFs saw $64.9 million worth of outflows, according to Farside Investors.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s short-term holder realized price rose to $63,729 on June 11, according to LookIntoBitcoin. During bull cycles, the short-term holder realized price often acts as a dynamic support line for Bitcoin’s price.Bitcoin: Short-term holder realized price. Source: LookIntoBitcoin


But Bitcoin’s price has been stuck despite the increasing realized price, mainly due to the distribution of older coins, according to Thomas Fahrer, co-founder of Apollo. He wrote in a June 12 X post:“We simply have to wait it out until we complete the market ‘reset’ which sets a new floor. Then $65,000–$70,000 becomes a base much in the same way $10,000 became a base in 2020.”
