  • Bitcoin hit a six-month low but is recovering with recent gains.
  • Large BTC holders increased their holdings, while small holders reduced their assets.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn yesterday, dropping below the $49.5K mark and hitting a six-month low. Despite the slump, wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC displayed confidence by consistently increasing their holdings as prices fell. Conversely, wallets with less than 1 BTC demonstrated weak hands, showing the most substantial decrease in holdings during the market downturn.

Additionally, the sleeping Bitcoin wallets from 2017 reawakened last month, moving approximately 1,636.94 BTC through 23 distinct transactions. In August alone, seven such wallets have become active again. On August 2, two Bitcoin wallets created on May 1 and 2, 2017, transferred a total of 400 BTC. The first wallet moved 200 BTC, confirmed in block 855,037, and the second wallet mirrored this transaction, sending another 200 BTC at block height 855,038.

In the past 24 hours, notable transactions include 973 Bitcoins worth $53 million transferred from Binance to an unknown wallet, 1.8K Bitcoins moved from an unknown wallet to Kraken, and 3,812 Bitcoins worth $207 million transferred from an unknown wallet to Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) Institutional. These large transfers have raised questions about the market’s immediate future and the potential motivations behind these moves.

How Does It Influence BTC?

Currently, Bitcoin’s price is slowly recovering, with a surge of 7% in the past 24 hours, bringing the price to $55,216. However, trading volume is down 15%, indicating cautious investor sentiment. Despite the rebound, the market remains in a bearish state. The daily RSI is at 49, suggesting that it nears the selling pressure phase.

Analysts suggest that Bitcoin’s price is in a volatile phase, making near-term predictions challenging. The cryptocurrency community is watching closely to see if the recent buying activity by large holders will stabilize the market or if further declines are imminent.
