Bitcoin Whale BTC transactions fall below $63,000 after 42% drop


$100,000 or more Bitcoin transactions have seen the Bitcoin price fall sharply in the past two days, while the price of Bitcoin has returned below $63,000. One reason is that the Bitcoin whale reduced its transaction activity before the Bitcoin price dropped significantly in the past two days. It fell below $63,000.

As of June 23, the total number of Bitcoin whale transactions ($100,000) in the previous two days was 9,923, down 42% from the 17,091 transactions recorded two days earlier, and the change in whale behavior saw the price of the cryptocurrency drop to $62,708, down from $64,685 to $63,422, and publishing At the time it was down to $62,531.

Meanwhile, mainstream investors have adjusted their portfolios to reduce investments, according to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, which is popular in futures trading.

“A large whale-sized investor popularly investing in derivatives exchanges is in risk reduction mode,” Ki said in a June 23 X post, which is used to describe a downward shift in market sentiment.

Ki Young Joo turns out that the reason IFP tracks bitcoin's movements between spot and derivatives exchanges is “red.” It reflects market confidence

IFP turning red indicates that traders are increasingly withdrawing their Bitcoin from derivatives exchanges. It is a platform used to enter financial contracts based on the future price of Bitcoin.

Crypto index shifts from greedy to neutral

Meanwhile, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which measures crypto market sentiment, fell to a “neutral” score of 51, the lowest level in 51 days since bitcoin tumbled from $60,000 to $59,122.

For its part, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded large outflows over the past six trading days, with Farside's biggest six-day outflow on June 13 at $226.2 million.

On the other hand, other analysts see different indicators as a sign of optimism for the Bitcoin price.

James Check, Glassnode's lead analyst, known as “Checkmatey,” wrote in a June 23 X post that Bitcoin's sell-to-risk ratio has reached a level that signals it's time for the market to move. All profits due have already been earned.

“When investment returns decline, Bitcoin investors need to find new price ranges. To stoke the fires of fear, greed and panic. Or complacency,” he concluded.
