A Bitcoin Rally Fueled by Whale Demand
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a spectacular rise of more than 10% last week, reaching the resistance level of $67,000. According to on-chain data, short-term holders sold their assets to long-term holders, a typical sign of an imminent bullish trend. Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research, estimates that: “A breakout above $67,500 could potentially lead to new all-time highs.”
Cash flows to Bitcoin ETFs based in Hong Kong and the United States have been particularly notable. Hong Kong-based ETFs recorded an increase of $244 million in net assets, while U.S. ETFs accumulated more than 14,000 bitcoins over the past week. Additionally, a single entity purchased over 16,445 bitcoins, worth more than $1.1 billion, in the last 24 hours. Another crypto whale was also spotted, accumulating bitcoins worth over $106 million in a single day.
Looking Forward to $67,500!
If Bitcoin manages to break through the crucial $67,500 mark, it could trigger a series of massive liquidations, wiping out nearly $300 million in short positions across all crypto exchange platforms. Such a move, by forcing short-sellers to buy back their positions to avoid further losses, would further fuel the demand for Bitcoin, pushing its price to new all-time highs. This increased buying pressure could push Bitcoin to reach, or even surpass, the symbolic $70,000 mark, attracting even more attention from institutional and retail investors.
Moreover, a successful breakout above this resistance level could also signal a reversal of Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market. Currently, Bitcoin represents a significant share of the total crypto market capitalization. However, a massive surge in its price could lead to a capital rotation towards altcoins.
Investors, taking advantage of the gains made on Bitcoin, might seek to diversify their portfolios by investing in undervalued altcoins, thus offering new investment opportunities. This capital rotation could stimulate emerging blockchain projects and strengthen the crypto ecosystem as a whole.
