A massive amount of 19,197 BTC worth $652 million recently made its way out of Binance all at once, triggering a curious reaction from Bitcoin investors. The timing of the transfer is interesting, as Bitcoin is currently trading in a range and is looking to break the $35,000 resistance level.  The big question is whether the whale behind the transfer plans to hold or sell, but recent price action points to the former. Massive Amount Of BTC Leaves Binance Recent data has shown Bitcoin trading volume on crypto exchanges recently hit its highest point since March, as trading activity increased in the overall crypto market. Whale activity, in particular, has grown exponentially.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Presents Uniswap’s UNI As The Next Coin Primed For Breakout Whale transaction tracker Whale Alerts has uncovered various large Bitcoin transactions coming into and going out of cryptocurrency exchanges.

This massive movement of digital currency has led analysts to speculate about the implications. JUST IN: 19,197 Bitcoin ($652M) has been withdrawn from Binance — Whale (@WhaleChart) October 29, 2023 Some believe transactions like these signal that whales see bullish things ahead for Bitcoin and want to hold their assets using their own private keys.  Now, while the whale tracker didn’t provide the transaction address for an in-depth analysis, the transfer was probably into a cold wallet. This is most likely the case as on-chain data points to an ongoing intense buying pressure from the bulls to drive up Bitcoin’s price. Trigger For Bitcoin Recovery? When large amounts of BTC are moved off exchanges, it shows that investors are holding their coins long-term. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $34,611, and its price action is forming a flag in a 4-hour chart timeframe.  Using the Fib indicator, a breakout above $35,000 puts the next target at $38,000. A more convincing breakout might bring the price of Bitcoin to $40,000. On the other hand, the creation of a lower low below $33,500 would render the flag invalid, and we’d most likely witness a retracement from that point to $31,000.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market: Crypto Spot Trading Volumes Climb To 8-Month Highs 4h $BTC trying for a high n’ tight flag here, breakout target is yearly pivot at 38k inside the flag we’ve got evidence for A&E and iH&S aka market refuses to break down any new LL = flag is invalidated and we prob see retrace to 31k pic.twitter.com/QLUXBFSDFj — Josh Olszewicz (@CarpeNoctom) October 29, 2023 However, ongoing buying pressure points to a bullish breakout rather than a bearish breakout. According to Santiment data shared no X by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Bitcoin whales have purchased over 30,000 bitcoins worth nearly $1 billion within the last five days. #Bitcoin whales have purchased over 30,000 $BTC within the last five days, worth nearly $1 billion! pic.twitter.com/oclJBY5j6a — Ali (@ali_charts) October 28, 2023 Also, historical data points to an average price jump of 43% in November for Bitcoin. A similar jump in the coming month would see Bitcoin increase to around $48,000. BTC price at $34,556 | Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview.com Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
