Bitcoin slides due to decline in whale transactions

Bitcoin (BTC) price declined slightly while whale activity showed a consistent downtrend.

According to an X post by market analysis firm CryptoQuant, whales that led the downtrend in July 2022 have not made any recent moves. According to the post, these whales hold between 1,000 and 10,000 Bitcoins.

Liquidity for large sales remains low.

“Whales in the 1,000-10,000 range, which led the downtrend, are still relatively calm. Firms still exerting selling pressure are in the $10 to $100 BTC range.”
