Large Bitcoin Investors Unfazed by BTC’s Correction as Whale Accumulation Continues: Santiment
Nov 26, 2024 8:17 AM

Bitcoin went through its largest correction since the Trump-induced rally began three weeks ago, plunging from almost $100,000 on Friday to under $92,000 earlier today.

While such a retracement could scare newer investors who have yet to realize BTCs volatility, larger market participants, such as whales and sharks, continue their accumulation spree.

CryptoPotato reported all the price developments around bitcoin ever since November 6 when it became known that Donald Trump will be the next US president. At the time, the largest cryptocurrency stood below $70,000 but went on a mindblowing rally that saw its price add over $30,000 in weeks to peak at just shy of $100,000 on Friday.

It fell to $98,000 and $96,000 during the weekend, but the most substantial correction transpired at the start of the business week. Earlier today, BTC slumped to $91,500 (on Bitstamp), thus losing roughly eight grand since the Friday rejection.

Analysts are now speculating on whether the worst has passed, with some on-chain metrics indicating a potential further retracement in the short term but an overall continuation of the bull rally.

Nevertheless, data from Santiment shows that larger investors referred to as whales and sharks have been accumulating hard in November, adding over $6 billion worth of BTC to their stash. Consequently, the analytics platform concluded that theres no need for panic yet.

Is it time to panic after Bitcoin has opened the week with a mild retrace below $95K? Whales and sharks certainly dont think so. In November alone, wallets with at least 10 BTC have now accumulated 63,922 more coins (worth $6.06B). As long as they continue moving their… pic.twitter.com/6EVS9UtFtm
