In the current bearish market sentiment, Bitcoin’s (BTC) price facing strong resistance from the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily time frame. Amid this struggle, a whale wallet address “3G98jS” found this as a perfect opportunity and purchased over 322 BTC worth $19 million from Binance, as reported by an on-chain analytic firm Eyeonchain.
Whale’s Aggressive BTC Accumulation
With this recent purchase, the whale’s BTC holding increased to 8,881 coins worth $523 million.

This shows that it is an ideal buying level for investors.
In addition to the recent accumulation, whales and sharks have purchased over 133.3K BTC from retail investors who sold in a panic over the past few weeks, as reported by CoinPedia on August 29, 2024.
