The world’s largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) has been showing greater volatility around $40,000 levels. As of press time, the BTC price has corrected 2.85% and is currently trading at $40,546 levels with a market cap of $771 billion.
On-chain data provider Santiment reported whales have been accumulating during the recent price drop under $40,000. It noted:
Bitcoin whale addresses holding 100 to 10k $BTC have collectively accumulated 18,104 more $BTC since the April 10th price drop below $40k. However, their holdings are still down substantially since October. Meanwhile, $USDT buying power looks promising.

Be aware a decisive daily close below $39,400-$38,500 can invalidate the optimistic outlook and result in a retracement to $35,000 or even $30,000 for $BTC”.
