Bitcoin recently overcame substantial on-chain resistance levels, pushing past $66,000. This upward movement, coupled with minimal selling, reflects strong market confidence in Bitcoin’s prospects.
According to on-chain reports, a whale purchased an additional 102 BTC, equivalent to $6.72 million, just eight hours ago.
This whale has accumulated a total of 3,385 BTC, valued at approximately $232.15 million since March 6th, with an average buying cost of $68,579 per Bitcoin. Despite the current price, this whale is still facing an unrealized loss of $8.08 million.

The increasing volume in Bitcoin ETFs and the recent price movement past critical resistance levels are signs of a robust market outlook.
However, the potential short-term correction as indicated by the TD Sequential and the unrealized losses by significant holders like the aforementioned whale underscore the market’s inherent volatility. Investors will need to navigate these fluctuations carefully, keeping an eye on both technical indicators and broader market trends.
