Bitcoin whales on the move as BTC price rises

TL;DR

Bitcoin whales are on the move again as Bitcoin BTC price is about to hit the $10000 mark once again. BTC price stands at $9632.45 at the moment while the high is not only the monthly but quarterly high at the same time.

Bitcoin enthusiasts are hopeful that the cryptocurrency is going to emerge above the psychological limit of $10000 mark within a few days, and the previous predictions expect this to happen by the 15th of February.

The transaction is by far the largest whale transaction recorded in the past few months, and if the amount has not been subject to a financial agreement, it can sway the market towards the $10000 mark.

Interestingly, the set of transactions doesn’t stop at a single but rather a set of the transaction was initiated with a slight difference in amounts.

The index displayed a neutral stance of the market by the end of the day on the 5th of February 2020. While the past few hours into the 6th of January show a rise of 8 points by 61 percent.

Bitcoin whales are believed to be the real driving force behind the major market sways. Despite the undisclosed nature of the 479 million United States dollar transactions, the sway would fall in favor of the bearish BTC price movement in the days to come.
