Bitcoin Price Recovers to $94,000 as Whales Accumulate Coins

The price of Bitcoin has risen to $94,000 from lows under $75,000 earlier this month. This increase is driven by large investors, known as whales, purchasing coins from the market.

Key points include:

  • Glassnode's Accumulation Trend Score indicates strong demand from whales.
  • Wallets with over 10,000 BTC have an accumulation score of 0.90; those with 1,000 to 10,000 BTC scored 0.7; smaller wallets scored 0.5.
  • Large players are actively buying into the current rally.
  • CryptoQuant reports the highest BTC outflow from centralized exchanges in two years, suggesting a trend toward re-accumulation by investors.
  • Outflows indicate a preference for direct custody of Bitcoin, reflecting long-term holding strategies.
