Bitcoin Trades Beneath Key Resistance as Bulls and Bears Reach an Impasse\u00a0 At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading up marginally at its current price of $11,900.

Whales Still Accumulating BTC Despite Stalling Momentum\u00a0 Bitcoin\u2019s inability to break above $12,000 has not been enough to stop the cryptocurrency\u2019s wealthiest investors from adding to their positions. One analyst spoke about this trend in a recent tweet, referencing a map of unspent Bitcoin while explaining that there is still a strong accumulation trend amongst whales despite BTC\u2019s price being relatively high. \u201cWhales are still accumulating at these prices,\u201d he said.
