Whale Entities are clusters of crypto wallet addresses held by a single network participant holding least 1,000 BTC.
Shiba Inu whale transactions have skyrocketed by a whopping 240%, as large-scale investors have been seen moving trillions of SHIB tokens this week. Considering the significant increase in SHIB whale movements, the price of Shiba Inu could continue its previously halted uptrend to $0.00002.

Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared data suggesting an interesting accumulation trend among XRP investors despite ongoing price uncertainty. According to Martinez, who referenced data from on-chain analytics platform Santiment, XRP whales have made substantial purchases totaling around 40 million XRP within the last 48 hours. Related Reading: Baby Doge Coin Rockets 200% In 30 Days – What’s On The Horizon? This significant accumulation trend coincides with a rise in large transactions to and from cryptocurrency exchanges, as highlighted by whale transaction tracker Whale Alerts during the same period. Whales Buy Millions Of XRP In a recent post on social media platform X, Martinez shared a Santiment data chart that illustrates the total holdings of XRP addresses containing between 1 million and 10 million XRP tokens. He highlighted that these specific cohorts of traders have collectively acquired approximately 40 million XRP over the past 48 hours, amounting to an investment of around $22 million. While this figure might appear modest in comparison to the more substantial movements typically seen from XRP whales, it marks a significant development as it represents the first notable inflow into these wallets since the beginning of the month. The chart shared by Martinez reveals a concerning trend. The total holdings of these whale wallets have been in a steep decline since the start of October. On October 1, the cumulative holdings for this group were recorded at approximately 3.93 billion XRP. However, in a matter of days, these wallets experienced a substantial loss of around 130 million XRP, driving their total holdings down to a three-month low of 3.8 billion XRP by October 8. However, recent accumulation by the whale addresses has seen their collective holdings increase to 3.85 billion in the past 24 hours. According to data from Whale Alerts, there have been multiple instances of large XRP transactions entering and leaving crypto exchanges in the past 24 hours. The largest transaction occurred with the transfer of 104 million XRP tokens worth $55 million from an unknown wallet into a new unknown wallet. Another notable transaction was the transfer of 52 million XRP tokens worth $27.8 million from an unknown wallet into crypto exchange Bybit. A while later, 30 million XRP tokens were transferred from Bybit into another private wallet. Is XRP Headed To $0.5 Or $0.6? Current price action shows XRP consolidating between an upper range of $0.54 and a lower range of $0.52 within the past seven days. This lack of clear direction suggests low volatility and a lack of interest among crypto traders, as evidenced by a trading volume decline of approximately 30% in the last 24 hours.

However, the recent increase in whale holdings could signal a renewed interest among large investors in XRP, hinting at a potential shift in market sentiment as the new week begins. Historically, increases in whale accumulation have often been accompanied by a steady rise in the XRP price. If this trend continues, it could replicate the accumulation seen in September, which propelled XRP to a peak of $0.668. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
Shiba Inu might be undergoing a bearish correction, but on-chain data suggests some good news and hints at something positive coming in the next few days.

XRP whales are bucking the trend with noticeable moves amidst a wider backdrop of uninspiring price movements for the cryptocurrency. A recent surge in XRP acquisitions has caught the crypto community’s attention, as large-scale investors acquired $228 million worth of the digital asset in a few days. Interestingly, this noticeable spike in buying comes on the heels of the launch of the Grayscale XRP Trust and an optimistic price prediction that sees XRP potentially hitting $5 in the next six to ten months. Whale Accumulation Increases Amidst Bullish Predictions This exciting movement by XRP whales was revealed through the crypto’s supply distribution on the social media platform X by Ali Martinez. According to the Santiment chart shared by the crypto analyst, wallets holding 10 million to 100 million XRP tokens recently pushed their total balance to a September peak of 7.17 billion XRP after adding about $288 million worth of XRP tokens in ten days. Related Reading: Grayscale XRP Trust Surges 11.44% One Week After Launch, Here’s The Catalyst Based on the average price of the altcoin during this period, this equates to the acquisition of approximately 390 million tokens by this group of large holders, representing about 6.9% of the total circulating supply moving into the hands of a few key players. Although the total balance of the whales had dropped to about 7.11 billion XRP at the time of Martinez’s post, recent developments point to continued accumulation in the coming days. One of these developments is the recent launch of the Grayscale XRP Trust, which seems to be already attracting institutional investors to the token. However, despite this uptick in whale activity, XRP has not mirrored the price jumps in other major cryptocurrencies following a favorable U.S. Federal Reserve decision. The Federal Reserve’s 0.5% interest rate cut has fueled a broader inflow into the cryptocurrency market, propelling assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum to notable gains. In contrast, the price has struggled to break above the $0.60 mark, even with heightened whale activity. Crypto analyst Ash Crypto predicted that the altcoin could reach $5 in the next six to ten months. This forecast aligns with a wider backdrop of optimism within the crypto space, with multiple assets experiencing upward momentum as the effects of the Federal Reserve’s policy changes continue to ripple through markets. Related Reading: Dogecoin Open interest Remains Muted Below $500 Million, What’s Going On? XRP $5 Prediction According to a recent outlook by Ash Crypto, XRP is on target to perform a 300% to 740% increase in the current market cycle. Such a rally puts the altcoin at a price target between $3 and $5. Notably, the crypto analyst’s outlook isn’t based on a technical analysis but on fundamentals and a predicted rally by the general crypto market. As such, Ash Crypto’s outlook also forecasts Bitcoin trading between $150,000 and $250,000 and Ethereum trading between $10,000 and $15,000 in the next six to ten months. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.5828. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
The Dogecoin price recover came as a welcome sight to investors after the meme coin struggled around $0.09 for a while. Naturally, the move in the price has prompted movement among Dogecoin investors and the whales are not left out of this. As the price rebounds, these whales have increased their activity, moving billions of DOGE to and from their wallets. However, the net flow of these whale wallets paint a bearish story for the DOGE price. Dogecoin Whales Move Over $500 Million The large whale transactions tracked by the IntoTheBlock platform are transactions carrying $100,000 or more. These large transactions, although seeing a drawdown from the previous week’s figures, have maintained a reasonably high level. Over the last two days, the average number of whale transactions have come out to 800, showing that interest from the whales remain high. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Enters Stage 3 That Will Trigger 4,500% Rally To $15 While the whale transaction numbers actually saw a decrease between Sunday and Monday, going from 899 transactions to 818 transactions, the number of DOGE moved tell a different story. IntoTheBlock’s data shows that 5.19 billion DOGE were moved on Monday compared to 4.59 billion DOGE on Sunday. In dollar terms, this translates to $522.89 million compared to $499.99 million. Nevertheless, these numbers show an average of $500 million being moved by these whales everyday. As the Dogecoin price continues to recover, the whale transactions could balloon from here as investors move to secure their positions. Where Are The Coins Headed? The net flow data for the large whale wallets can tell us where the whales are moving their DOGE coins. This data tracks the inflow and outflows from the Dogecoin whale wallets, meaning how much is entering the wallets and how many coins are leaving. As a result, it can show if these whales are buying or selling at this time. According to the IntoTheBlock data, the inflows into the wallets have declined, while the outflows from these large wallets have risen over the last few days. Inflows dropped from 37.4 million DOGE on Sunday to only 115.11 million DOGE on Monday. This shows that the Dogecoin whales have not been buying as much DOGE during this time. Related Reading: Analyst Identifies $0.75 As Most Crucial Target For XRP Price In The Campaign For $1 In the same vein, outflows also surged from 18.37 million DOGE on Sunday to 107.71 million DOGE on Monday. This outflow trend suggests that Dogecoin whales are selling rather than buying. It explains the selling pressure on the coin over the last few days, making it hard to reclaim $0.1. However, net flow data, which shows the average of inflows and outflows, has remained almost flat. Nevertheless, the majority of Dogecoin holders look to be in it for the long term as 3.93 million addresses have held their DOGE coins for more than one year. 2.2 million addresses have been holding for between 1 and 12 months. This leaves only 113,660 addresses that have been holding for less than one month. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Popular meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced a relatively calm period of on-chain activity in recent weeks. This calm pace has been mirrored in the token’s price action, which has remained largely stable without any major fluctuations. However, despite this apparent lull, a trend of significant SHIB outflows across various crypto exchanges has emerged this week. According to on-chain data, 307 billion SHIB tokens were withdrawn in the past 24 hours. This mass withdrawal seems to raise curiosity, especially since this was not an isolated event. Interestingly, this data peaked at 2.179 trillion SHIB earlier in the week. Whales Pull Out Millions Worth Of SHIB From Exchanges Data from CryptoQuant shows that more than 309 billion SHIB tokens were taken out of aggregated crypto exchanges on September 11. Taking into account the current price of SHIB, it amounts to over $4 million. Furthermore, the data showed that a similar amount was withdrawn from crypto exchanges on September 10. A withdrawal peak was registered on September 9, a day which was highlighted with 2.179 trillion SHIB tokens being withdrawn from crypto exchanges. At the time of withdrawal, the tokens were worth approximately $29.5 million. Related Reading: End Of The Road For NEIRO? Crypto Analyst Predicts Breakdown Below $0.13 The notable increase in transactions is supported by similar data from IntoTheBlock (ITB). Interestingly, this one sheds light on activity predominantly driven by so-called “whales,” or large holders of the cryptocurrency. ITB’s data highlights that over the past seven days, the volume of transactions whose value exceeds $100,000 has surged to a total of $143.68 million. While this might not be as much during a strong bull rally, it represents an increase of almost 60% from the previous seven-day timeframe. Such a marked increase suggests that large holders are starting to take advantage of the lower prices to buy the dip. Is A Shiba Inu Rally Brewing? This sharp increase in outflows is likely to catch the attention of SHIB investors. The implications could point to renewed confidence in SHIB, and a bullish trend could emerge soon. Related Reading: Why Bitcoin Retesting $57,000 Is Good For The Price Since the beginning of September, SHIB has struggled to break above the $0.000014 mark due to bearish pressure in the broader crypto markets. However, bullish supporters have been largely successful in minimizing losses and have consistently defended the $0.000010 support level throughout the month. As of the latest update, Shiba Inu has seen a slight price increase alongside many other cryptocurrencies over the past 24 hours. SHIB is currently trading at $0.00001343, reflecting a 1.5% rise. The price is expected to rise further if the trend of strong SHIB outflows from exchanges continues. Similarly, a sustained move above $0.000014 could push SHIB past its August high of $0.00001607 in the short term. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that Shiba Inu whales have been offloading their holdings over the last 30 days.

On-chain activity suggests that Bitcoin whales have been accumulating over the past month amid a market slump.
Cardano is at a significant milestone with the impending Chang hard fork. This pivotal moment follows the recent upgrade of its node validation software before the upgrade goes live. As the Cardano ecosystem gears up for this major update, the network is experiencing a surge in activity that could determine its trajectory in the coming weeks. Amidst this heightened activity, Cardano’s cryptocurrency, ADA, has demonstrated an interesting price performance. ADA has seen positive price action in the past 24 hours, reflecting growing market optimism. This uptick in price comes on the heels of increasing transaction volumes, particularly from whales or large ADA holders. According to recent on-chain data, this cohort of traders has significantly ramped up their transactions, with transaction volume recently reaching a peak of 17 billion ADA tokens. Whales Making Moves This movement from large holders was noted on IntoTheBlock’s dashboard through a metric which follows the number and volume of transactions greater than $100,000 in a 24-hour period. Interestingly, this metric shows that the number of large transactions has been on a decline since the beginning of the week. However, an activity spike created a trading volume of 17.78 billion ADA on Friday, coming to $7 billion worth of tokens exchanged among whale addresses. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Remains Strongest Compared To Bitcoin And Ethereum, Here’s Why The increase in activity continues to linger, with 15.43 billion ADA tokens worth $6.28 billion moved among large holders in the past 24 hours. While the surge in activity and trading volume could also be large transfers to crypto exchanges for potential selloffs, on-chain data suggests otherwise. Insights from IntoTheBlock’s Large Holders Inflow metric reveal that ADA whales have been rapidly accumulating tokens instead. This metric specifically tracks the influx of ADA tokens into wallets that hold at least 0.1% of the circulating supply, providing a clear picture of large holder behavior. The data shows that these wallets have experienced a 579% increase in inflows over the past seven days and a 173% increase over the past 30 days. This significant accumulation has led to a corresponding rise in net flow, which accounts for both the inflow and outflow of tokens from large addresses. Specifically, there has been a staggering 720.62% increase in net flow over the last seven days and an even more dramatic 2580% increase over the past 30 days. Cardano Recovery Imminent? These figures suggest that large holders are not only acquiring more ADA but are also retaining their holdings, resulting in a substantial net positive flow. This trend reflects a strong accumulation phase among ADA whales, indicating their growing confidence and long-term commitment to the Cardano network. Related Reading: Can Dogecoin Replicate Its 2021 18,000% Run? Here’s What The Chart Says Much of this accumulation can be attributed to the upcoming Cardano hard fork, which will herald the Voltaire era. Voltaire is the last phase of Cardano’s original roadmap in creating a fully decentralized blockchain ecosystem. As the Chang hard fork approaches, the crypto community is closely monitoring these developments, anticipating how they will influence the overall landscape of the Cardano network and its market performance. Additionally, there are rumors that Cardano might be the next cryptocurrency to secure its own Spot ETFs following the recent approval of Spot Ethereum ETFs. At the time of writing, Cardano is trading at $0.4171, up by 1% in the past 24 hours. The next feasible step is breaking above $0.42. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
Bitcoin whales have been consistently accumulating BTC since the beginning of the year amidst a bullish future outlook for the crypto industry.

Render (RNDR), the governance token of the distributed GPU rendering system, has seen a big rise in whale activity, which means that big investors are paying more attention. Related Reading: Notcoin (NOT) Ignites Crypto Market, Analyst Predicts 25% Rally Santiment says that on July 14, the number of deals worth $1 million or more went through the roof. This made people aware that the price of the token could change a lot. Large transactions often show what big buyers are doing, so they have a big effect on how the RNDR market moves. Institutional Interest And Market Influence The large number of whales trading RNDR coins shows that big buyers see the token as a valuable asset. When whales jack up their buying activities, the price may go up, otherwise it remains stagnant. It’s clear from this pattern how important establishment players are in setting market trends. In the past, when there were more whale trades, the price of RNDR tended to go up. Looking back at similar events in March and May, we can see that RNDR’s price went from being bearish to being positive. This shows that whale behaviour is linked to price increases. The price of RNDR was $6.20 at the time of the news, down 8.85% in the last 24 hours. Even though there is a short-term drop, other signs point to a possible positive trend. Render market cap currently at $2.4 billion. Chart: TradingView.com Network Activity And Market Sentiment In addition to whale action, Render network metrics have gotten a lot better. IntoTheBlock data shows that the number of active addresses on the network has increased by 100% in the last week, which means that the number of users is growing. In addition to the increase in new members, there has been an 86% growth in the number of new locations. The mood in the market about RNDR has also improved. Analysts at Santiment say that the Weighted Sentiment measure has turned positive, which means that the market as a whole has better feelings about RNDR. Price increases often happen before positive mood does, because it shows that buyers are becoming more confident. Render Price Forecast Related Reading: Analysts Unanimous: Solana (SOL) To Soar 100% – Details Even though current sentiment has been negative and the Fear & Greed Index has been neutral, the long-term picture for Render Token is still positive. Render has a probability of increasing in price by around 226% and hit $21.51 by mid-August, according to current predictions. But the token’s success over the last 30 days, with 47% “green” days and 8.63% price fluctuation, makes it important to be careful. Featured image from Asia Crypto Today, chart from TradingView
Shiba Inu (SHIB) whales have regained confidence in the second-largest meme coin by market cap.

An Ethereum whale has caused panic among community members following a recent transaction suggesting they might be looking to offload their holdings. This comes amid a recent prediction by research firm Matrixport that Ethereum’s price could significantly rebound from its current price level. Ethereum Whales Transfers 11,215 ETH Onchain data shows that the Ethereum whale transferred 11,215 ETH ($34.3 million) to the crypto exchange Coinbase. A trader usually makes such a move when selling these tokens, and considering the amount of tokens involved, such a sale could significantly impact ETH’s price. However, data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that there might be a demand for these tokens if, indeed, this whale is looking to offload their tokens. Related Reading: 83% Of All Bitcoin Holders Still In Profit Despite Drop Below $60,000 There has been an increase of 132% in the large holders’ netflow to exchange netflow ratio in the last seven days, which suggests that Ethereum whales are actively accumulating more ETH. The flow metrics also paint an accumulation trend among Ethereum holders, with inflow volume into exchanges down by over 11% in the last seven days. During this period, the outflow volume from these exchanges has increased by 3%, further confirming that Ethereum investors are looking to hold their positions and accumulate more ETH at this point. This is undoubtedly a positive development for Ethereum’s price, which could witness a significant rebound thanks to this wave of accumulation. Research firm Matrixport also predicted that ETH’s price would rebound from its current price level thanks to the Spot Ethereum ETFs, which they claimed could launch as early as this week. While that remains uncertain, market experts like Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart have suggested that it shouldn’t be long before these Spot Ethereum ETFs begin trading. This is because fund issuers have implemented most of the comments that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had on their S-1 filings. ETH Is Primed For A Rally Crypto analyst Leon Waidmann mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Ethereum is primed for a rally. He made this assertion based on Ethereum’s dwindling supply. He noted that 40% of Ethereum’s supply is locked up, with 28% staked and the other 12% in smart contracts and bridges. Additionally, Waidmann expects this supply to continue to reduce once the Spot Ethereum ETFs begin trading, with institutional investors taking a huge chunk of the supply off exchanges. Based on this, Ethereum could rally on the back of the supply and demand dynamics since demand is bound to outpace supply at some point. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crash: Here’s What The Data Says About Buying The Dip Crypto analyst Follis mentioned that Ethereum’s chart looks identical to Bitcoin’s just before it pumped over 200% last year.

Bitcoin seems to be hitting an air pocket. Over the past two weeks, whales have been shedding their digital assets in large amounts. This exodus, totaling over $1.2 billion according to CryptoQuant, has been a cause for concern for many landlocked investor. Related Reading: Analyst’s Bullish Call: Bitcoin Primed For Massive Jump To $127,000 Where The Whales Go, The Market May Follow The reasons for this sudden sell-off remain murky, but analysts point to a confluence of factors. One theory suggests a shift in priorities for miners, the brawny machines that secure the Bitcoin network and earn rewards in the form of new coins. #Bitcoin long-term holder whales sold $1.2B in the past 2 weeks, likely through brokers. ETF netflows are negative with $460M outflows in the same period. If this ~$1.6B in sell-side liquidity isn’t bought OTC, brokers may deposit $BTC to exchanges, impacting the market. pic.twitter.com/oYeKsRqKeF — Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) June 18, 2024 With the booming artificial intelligence (AI) sector offering a potentially more lucrative goldmine, miners might be cashing out their crypto rewards to invest in the future of computing. The allure of AI is undeniable, shared Lucy Hu, a senior analyst at crypto fund Metalpha. The sheer processing power needed for AI development aligns perfectly with the capabilities of mining rigs. It seems miners are strategically diversifying their revenue streams. This potential exodus of miners from the Bitcoin ecosystem could have a domino effect. As miners sell their rewards, it increases the overall supply of BTC in circulation, potentially driving the price down. This aligns with the observed decline in “UTXO age” – a metric used to track buying and selling patterns. A drop in UTXO age indicates increased selling activity, and that’s not a comforting sign for investors hoping to ride the Bitcoin wave. Traditional Markets Beckon, Leaving Bitcoin On The Beach Adding fuel to the fire is the broader market sentiment. The recent strength of the US dollar and a general flight towards “safer” assets like traditional stocks have put a damper on riskier investments like Bitcoin. This risk aversion is further reflected in the net outflows of over $600 million from US-listed Bitcoin ETFs – the worst performance since late April. Related Reading: Altcoin Massacre?

Some analysts warn of a potential freefall to as low as $60,000 if the tide of negative sentiment continues to flow. Whales are unloading a ton of Bitcoin. Is this a fire sale, a big discount to buy Bitcoin, or a warning sign that things are about to get rough for Bitcoin? Investors are waiting to see if this is a good time to buy or if they should get out before the price drops even more. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from TradingView
Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has created a perplexing scenario for investors recently. Despite a noticeable decline in its price, on-chain data reveals that large investors, often referred to as “whales,” are accumulating ETH. This could signal a potential buying opportunity, though technical indicators suggest a weakening uptrend, leaving Ethereum’s near-term future uncertain. Related Reading: Solana Searching For Direction: Will SOL Break Free Or Fall Flat? Ethereum Whales See Opportunity In Price Dip In recent analysis by NewsBTC, it was revealed that wallets holding over 10,000 ETH have been steadily acquiring more tokens since the end of May. This period of accumulation, based on Glassnode data, coincides with a drop in Ethereum’s price from around $3,074 to its current price of $3,670. The significant increase in holdings by these large investors suggests that they see the current price decline as an attractive entry point, anticipating a future price rise. Adding to the bullish sentiment, CryptoQuant’s Netflow data for Ethereum has shown a dominance of negative flows in recent weeks. This means more ETH is leaving exchanges than entering them, a traditional indicator that investors are holding onto their ETH rather than selling it. This behavior can reduce the available supply on the market, potentially pushing prices up in the long run. Related Reading: $2 Billion Crypto Funds Flow Into Market On Rate Cut Buzz Technical Indicators Raise Red Flags Despite the optimistic signs from whale accumulation and exchange outflows, technical indicators paint a less rosy picture. Ethereum has been trading in a narrow range around $3,600 for the past three days, showing a slight decline of approximately 0.8% today. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above 50, indicating a slight uptrend, it is currently on a downward trajectory. If this trend continues and the RSI falls below the neutral line, it could suggest a potential price dip.

This bearish technical outlook contrasts sharply with the positive on-chain data, creating a complex situation for investors trying to predict the market’s next move. Market Awaits A Significant Catalyst The near-term future of Ethereum appears to hinge on the emergence of a significant catalyst. Broader market sentiment could play a crucial role, with a positive shift potentially reigniting the uptrend. Additionally, upcoming news or developments specific to the Ethereum network could also serve as a catalyst for price movement. Successful upgrades or increased adoption of decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Ethereum blockchain could trigger renewed investor interest and drive prices higher.

Bitcoin whales have continued to show their resilience and unwavering bullishness on the flagship crypto. This category of investors has accumulated a significant amount of the crypto token in the last seven days amid heightened volatility in Bitcoin’s price. Bitcoin Whales Accumulate $1.4 Worth Of BTC Data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that Bitcoin addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC have combined to accumulate 20,000 BTC ($1.4 billion) over the past seven days. This accumulation coincides with Bitcoin’s recent price surge above $70,000. Furthermore, these whales’ purchases suggest that volume is picking up for the flagship crypto, which could help trigger more price rallies. Moreover, on-chain analytics platform Glassnode noted in a recent market report that the selling pressure on Bitcoin was declining. Therefore, Bitcoin’s price looks primed to take off sooner rather than later with significant buys like the one made by these whales. Related Reading: Non-Empty USDC And USDT Wallets See 13.9% And 15.7% Spike, Why This Is Good For Crypto Meanwhile, institutional investors are also back in the fold and look to be doubling their bets on the flagship crypto. This is evident in the fact that inflows into the Spot Bitcoin ETFs have picked up over the last two weeks. Data from Farside Investors shows that these funds have taken in almost $800 million in this week alone. Crypto analyst James Check (also known as Checkmatey) noted in a recent market report that these funds could lead the next wave of demand, driving Bitcoin’s price to a new all-time high (ATH). These Spot Bitcoin ETFs have already been instrumental to Bitcoin’s growth this year, with the flagship crypto hitting its current ATH of $73,750 earlier in March. Like Check, crypto analyst Gustavo Faria also noted in a recent blog post that there are signs that a new wave of demand is emerging. This has raised the possibility of the next rally happening even sooner than expected. Crypto analysts like BitQuant have provided insights into how high Bitcoin could rise on its next leg up, predicting that the crypto token will reach $95,000. No Need To Worry About Price Dips On-chain analytics platform Santiment suggested there was no need to worry about any price correction for Bitcoin as the bulls have enough capital to buy up these dips. The platform highlighted that the amount of non-empty stablecoin wallets is rising, indicating that more whales are loading up their bags to invest in the crypto market.

Chart: TradingView.com However, the sustained volume exceeding $10 billion throughout the week, even during a recent price dip, suggests continued movement within the network. This could indicate institutional investors entering the Cardano market or signify significant internal token transfers within the ecosystem. Data Hints At Bullish Undercurrents While the exact nature of the large transactions remains to be seen, Santiment, another on-chain analytics platform, provides a potentially bullish signal. Their data suggests a growing accumulation trend among large holders. Addresses containing between 100,000 and 100 million ADA have been steadily increasing their holdings since the beginning of April. This accumulation by whales could be a positive sign for Cardano’s future price, indicating their confidence in the project’s long-term potential. Technical Analysis Paints A Target-Rich Environment Market analyst Cobra Vanguard has weighed in on the recent developments, employing technical analysis to predict Cardano’s price trajectory. Vanguard identifies an expanding price channel that Cardano has been trading within since the start of the year. This pattern suggests higher highs and lower lows, potentially indicating continued price volatility. Based on this analysis, Vanguard outlines several price targets for ADA, with the first hurdle at $0.52. Related Reading: Ethereum Fees Dive: Will This Spark A Surge In Network Activity?

The recent surge in large transactions on the Cardano network has undoubtedly generated excitement within the cryptocurrency community. While the exact reasons behind the high volume remain unclear, the potential involvement of whales and the uptick in accumulation by large holders paint a cautiously optimistic picture.

Shiba Inu has constantly managed to trade above $0.000021 last week amidst an ongoing tussle between the bulls and bears. On-chain data has indicated some serious whale movements during this period, with trillions of SHIB shuffled in and out of exchanges. The price of SHIB went through a decline earlier in the week from an extended selloff in the previous week. As the week progressed, things started to change into bullish action during the weekend up until a resistance just below $0.000028. Interestingly, on-chain transaction data from whales shows the major holders moved trillions of SHIB over the weekend, with 3.19 trillion SHIB movement in the past 24 hours. Recent on-Chain Data Shows Large SHIB Whale Activity According to IntoTheBlock’s large transaction volume data, the number of Shiba Inu transactions over $100,000 went through a major uptick last week, with the value of transactions greater than $100,000 reaching $661.5 million. On April 19th alone, SHIB transactions in this cohort reached 6.36 trillion SHIB worth $144.76 million. Large transactions in the last 24 hours particularly reached 3.19 trillion SHIB worth $82.49 million. Related Reading: Were Bitcoin Miners Behind The BTC Price Crash Below $60,000? With so much SHIB on the move, the big question is where are these whales sending their tokens. Interestingly, on-chain data showed large transactions consisting of a to and fro movement into and outside exchanges, indicating mixed feelings from large holders. A notable transaction involved the movement of 100 billion SHIB tokens into a crypto exchange on Sunday. Speculations from investors are that this could be a potential selloff from the whale, suggesting that there is a possibility of a price decline in the short term. What Does This Mean For Shiba Inu Holders? For average SHIB investors, whale activity can be both promising and worrying. While more large holders and transactions may indicate growing mainstream interest and adoption of the token, their moves can also significantly impact price. A positive price movement is enjoyed by Shiba Inu when whales are accumulating from exchanges. However, movement into exchanges suggests a selloff, as in the case of the 100 billion SHIB transaction on Sunday.

Shiba Inu is also up by 16% on a larger seven-day timeframe and is on the way to displacing Cardano in the market cap rankings. SHIB’s price action this week should be full of action as the week unfolds, with the bulls now retesting a resistance at $0.000028. According to IntoTheBlock’s “In/Out Of The Money” metric, 6.62 trillion SHIB tokens were bought at this price level, with 28,760 addresses waiting to make a profit. A break over this price level indicates further resistance levels at $0.000029 and $0.000030.

Large bitcoin investors substantially increased their holdings as prices dipped below $60,000 in early Friday's panicky action on the crypto markets ahead of the asset's much-anticipated halving event.
Around $1.2 billion worth of crypto in the top five holders’ wallets have been flagged as ‘inaccessible’ due to lost private keys.
Ethereum, one of the leading cryptocurrencies, finds itself amidst a price decline alongside the broader crypto industry. This downturn has been exacerbated by escalating tensions in the Middle East, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the market. As the majority of cryptocurrencies experience a bleed in value, Ethereum is not immune to the trend. However, while retail investors panic-sell their holdings, on-chain data presents a different picture. Big player whales in the market are seizing the opportunity to accumulate assets, displaying a bullish sentiment amid the turmoil. Related Reading: Bitcoin Below $70,000: Is $80K Still Possible, Or Is The Rally Over? Particularly, on-chain data from Lookonchain has shown an Ethereum whale accumulating during the price decline. Interestingly, the timeline of accumulation suggests that this whale has been in action even before the escalating tensions in the Middle East. Ethereum Whales Accumulate During Market Downturn On-chain transaction tracker Lookonchain has noted both a selloff and accumulation trend from different Ethereum whales in the past few days. One of the latest accumulations came from a whale that has been on constant withdrawals from crypto exchange Binance. As revealed by Lookonchain, whale “0x4359” has withdrawn 62,141 ETH worth $202.6 million from Binance in the past five days. This whale’s latest withdrawal from Binance was less than 12 hours ago, where they withdrew 37,018 ETH worth $120.7 million. Ethereum on the other hand, has fallen from $3,722 to as low as $2,866 in the last five days, representing a 23% price decline. In a similar manner, 7,300 ETH worth $23.8 million were transferred from Binance into “0xE347,” a newly created whale wallet. It seems that whales bought $ETH at the bottom! Whale”0x4359″ withdrew 37,018 $ETH($120.7M) from #Binance 4 hrs ago and this whale has withdrawn 62,141 $ETH($202.6M) from #Binance in the past 5 days.https://t.co/41366OnM5Y Fresh whale wallet”0xE347″ withdrew 7,300 $ETH($23.8M)… pic.twitter.com/qEtTSYU3Us — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) April 13, 2024 That said, Lookonchain also noted a trend of whales selling off their holdings. One example of such selloffs came from whale address “0xaF35” who deposited 6,700 ETH worth $23.65 million into Binance immediately before the price drop. It’s important to note that this same whale withdrew 26,698 ETH worth $94.3 million from Binance between Feb. 7 and April 1. In another social media post, Lookonchain revealed four whales dumping 31,683 ETH worth $106 million during the price drop. Total crypto market cap is currently at $2.261 trillion. Chart: TradingView What’s Next For Ethereum? The ETH accumulation and selloffs from different whale cohorts highlight the contrasting trading strategies between large holders of the crypto asset. While some are selling off, others are taking advantage of the low prices and buying the dip. It would seem the whale accumulation is still outweighing selloffs from their counterparts at the time of writing. Despite this, a selloff from retail investors has tipped the price action in favor of the bears. As a result, Ethereum now finds itself trading around the $3,000 price level, which remains a crucial price level.

We could then see Ethereum hold up above $3,000 and surge upwards at least till it reaches $3,200. A continued selloff could lead to a further price decline, causing Ethereum to break below $3,000.

An interesting transaction came from a whale wallet which recently woke up after 10 years of dormancy to transfer 246 BTC worth $16.73 million. Bitcoin Whale Wakes Up From 10-Year Slumber The Bitcoin blockchain is home to a vast number of early investors with large amounts of BTC that have remained dormant for many years. In fact, the re-ignition of dormant Bitcoin addresses has been sporadic for the past six months, particularly as the price of Bitcoin surged to new all-time highs and with most causing a stir and rising interest amongst Bitcoin investors. According to Lookonchain, a new Bitcoin whale address has been added to the roster of wallets raised from the dead. The whale address “1CLxmH” which held 1,701 BTC (worth $115 million at the time of writing) during its 10-year period of dormancy, recently woke up and transferred 246 BTC worth $16.73 million into another wallet. Interestingly, on-chain data shows the whale address received 4,272 BTC throughout 2013 at an average price of $29.39. A whale with 1,701 $BTC($115.42M) woke up after 10 years of dormancy and transferred 246 $BTC($16.73M) out 20 mins ago. The whale received 4,272 $BTC($125,541 at the time) in 2013 at an average price of only $29.39.

Reactivations of old dormant wallets are often driven by whales looking to sell all or some of their holdings. Massive selloffs like this often lead to a price slump and increase the selling pressure from short-term investors. However, the motive behind the reactivation of dormant addresses is impossible to predict and not all of them indicate profit-taking. Bitcoin market cap currently at $1.3 trillion. Chart: TradingView.com In this case, transaction data shows the assets were transferred into two new private wallets. 50 BTC were transferred into address “1PRREb,” while 195 BTC were transferred into address “bc1qga.” At the time of writing, address “1CLxmH” still holds 1,455 BTC worth $100.89 million.

With Bitcoin trading at $69,348, this wallet now holds $90.7 million worth of the cryptocurrency.
