BTC to Scale Higher Than $27K as Less BTC Whales Have BTC to Sell

One crypto market data aggregator known as CryptoQuant has revealed that less whales who hold large balances of bitcoin (BTC, +0.8%) have been depositing their BTC into crypto trade platforms in the last couple of days. The Chief Executive Officer of CryptoQuant, Ki Young Ju notes that because fewer BTC whales are holding the leading currency, it is a pointer to a possibility where the digital gold may scale even higher than its current $27,096.30 rate.

As at press time, the “Exchange Whale Ratio” has dipped below 85%. The Exchange Whale Ratio is estimated by dividing the highest ten BTC inflow transactions in 60 minutes by the entire BTC inflow on the trade platform.

 It appears that because the Whales were swimming in their profits between the 8th of December 2020 and the 22nd of December 2020- the period of the BTC value explosion-the exchange whale ratio remained above 85%. The current drop below 85% may be attributed to less Whale BTC holdings.

Young Ju notes via a tweet that:

He however considered that the crypto market may likely experience a market exhaustion to which he expects institutions to come to the rescue.
