Recent Bitcoin Correction Could Persist Due To Whale Activity — Santiment
A recent Santiment report indicates that Bitcoin's price correction may persist due to significant whale activity. After Bitcoin reached a one-month high near $74,000, large holders (whales holding 10 to 10,000 BTC) sold approximately 66% of the coins they had accumulated between February 23 and March 3. Meanwhile, retail investors increased their holdings as the price dropped below $70,000. Historically, such behavior—where whales sell while retail buys—often signals that a correction is not yet over. The correlation between whale movements and Bitcoin's price action is currently very high, making it a key short-term indicator. Broader geopolitical tensions, such as conflicts involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, may also contribute to market volatility. As of the latest data, Bitcoin is trading around $68,057, down nearly 4% in 24 hours but up 7% over the past week.
