The community responded mostly enthusiastically, commenting on this astounding Bitcoin transfer: “Whale moves rocking the Bitcoin ocean. Whale movements like this = time to check your position sizing.”
Another on-chain data source, CryptoQuant, has noticed that retail demand for Bitcoin has been in a strong decline. Over the past month, it has dropped by around 2.45%. CryptoQuant says that this is indicative that “smaller investors have not yet reached a euphoric dynamic in the current market.” However, whales remain bullish, unlike retail Bitcoin investors.
